hi,

i have a string

$str="hi|i|am|a|perl|script";

i want to extract the words that are separeated by a '|' into an array.

i tried using the split() function, but it worked for cases where the
'|' was replaced bya another char like say a ':'

can anyone help me in this regard?

my @words = split /\|/, $str;

I don't know how you worded your split, but split is the correct
function (as shown above).
