splitting on dot in perl
I am trying to split input that looks like
,2005-09-12 01:45:00.000000,2005-09-12 01:48:18.000000,

I want to split on the dot .

What I am using is ($ev_time,$rol)=split(/\./),$inputfile;

This does not recognize the dot as what I want to split on.

Why do you put the pattern in parantheses?
Try ($ev_time,$rol)=split /\./,$inputfile;
And I beleive that $inpfile is a string containing you value. True?

Is '$inputfile' a variable containing a filename which contains your data or doe it contain the actualy string. If the latter then odashe's code works, otherwise you need a little more.
