the "split" function requires a regexp pattern
on which to spilit on
split '|', 'Troy|Mary|Tim'
will not split on |, because | is a metacharacter,
and has special meaning in regular expressions
you'll be wanting to escape it, as in
split /\|/, 'Troy|Mary'
you'll be wanting to read
perldoc perlre
as well as
perldoc perlop
cause you could also say
split /\Qany old character[][][][]][\E/, $word
and that would split on the literal string
any old character[][][][]][
even though [] is a metacharacter
you also wanna read perldoc -f quotemeta
