perl function split

The split function in Perl is used to split a string into an array of substrings based on a specified delimiter.

Here's an example of using the split function:

my $string = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
my @words = split /\s+/, $string;

foreach my $word (@words) {
    print "$word\n";
}

Output:

The
quick
brown
fox
jumps
over
the
lazy
dog

In this example, we have a string $string with multiple words separated by spaces. We use the split function with the regular expression \s+ to split the string into an array of words. The regular expression \s+ matches one or more whitespace characters.

We then loop through the @words array and print each word on a new line using the print function.
