Extracting from pipe delimited file.

Hey,

I am new to regualar expression. I wanted to extract the information from a pipe delimited file which has some entries like

L|S2CMG1B|||-11178399||1|-8.65|IRCSH|BOND||||N|S|IRDL|AUD||CRP|STD|CRP|M|0|1|||CSH||||OTHER|01|DE|KFW|50418Y9T5|||||||||||2||| |||

In this I want to extract the parts between various pipes. The entries between pipe may or may not be null.
I have got that using split function but I want to try with Regular expressions to check for the performance difference between split and regular expressions.
The entries between pipes in going to be alphanumeric.

Can anyone please help me with that?

Thanks
lee

if you want to compare performance difference of two codes (between split and regular expressions), CPAN module Devel::DProf would be helpful for you
