Thanks for the reply..
But i think u din't get my question.
Actually i m trying to split a string having backslash and forward slash both.
I know backslash is the meta character.
for the other meta character i m able to split the string.
For eg.

my $string = "This ?is! a [short]-(sentence)! Why?";
my @array = split (/[\-,. :;!?()[\]{}]+/, $string);
print $_, " " foreach @array;
print "\n";
#it displays: This is a short sentence Why

Can u please help me how to split a string ""my/name\is/khan\don2" and store in array using split fun in perl.

I knew what I posted wasn't going to do what you wanted, but it did exactly what you asked for. The point being is that you need to be clear on what you need.

Code

use Data::Dumper; 
 
my $str = 'my/name\is/khan\don2'; 
my @fields = split m~[/\\]~, $str; 
 
print Dumper @fields;

You should start by reading the related perldocs so you can learn about regular expressions.

perlrequick Perl regular expressions quick start
perlretut Perl regular expressions tutorial
perlre Perl regular expressions, the rest of the story
perlrebackslash Perl regular expression backslash sequences
perlrecharclass Perl regular expression character classes
perlreref Perl regular expressions quick reference

It would also be a good idea to pick up a copy of "Mastering Regular Expressions"
