split takes a line and splits into parts which are separated by a delimiter defined as any regular expression. For example
|
| 2 |
@fields = split(/\s/,$line); # splits string $line into several fields stored in $field[0] $field[1] etc. where these fields were separated by white space (\s) in $line
|

join inverts the operation although the join string must now be an ordinary single or double quoted string and not a regular expression as no matching is occuring!
|
| 4 |
$line = join( " \t", @fields); # rebuilds $line with space and tab as separator.
