perl: Split loop at...

[Telford <telford@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've tried this on two different RH8.0 machines:


#!/usr/bin/perl

while(<>)
{
	@x1 = split(/[\t\n ]+/, $_);
	foreach $token (@x1)
	{
		@x2 = split(/[,;]/, $token);
	}
}


Feed it almost any input and you get something like:
Split loop at ./test line 8, <> line 1.

I've seen a few other reports around of a similar error
but no one has actually explained what causes it.
There is no discussion in perldoc -f split that explains
what might be generating this error and I'm scratching
my head as to how to get around it.
