Perl split question
hi, I have a seemingly really stupid question, but here goes!

What do you enter into split delimiter to seperate something like this

"December 12, 1995"

and get

December
12
1995

?

thanks

Code:
$string = "December 12, 1995";
$string =~ s/,//g;

($month,$day,$year) = split(" ",$string);

print "$month -- $day -- $year\n";

Use the \W character class to split the string. \W is the compliment of \w which is a-zA-Z0-9_

Code:
$string = "December 12, 1995";
($month,$day,$year) = split(/\W+/,$string);
print "$month\n$day\n$year";

Code:
$str="December 12, 1995";
@arr=split("[ |,]",$str);
for($i=0;$i<=$#arr;$i++){
print $arr[$i],"\n";
}
