Separating field input into individual words.	Can't Post

Hi,

How can I split a form value into two words. How can I read how many words are in a form value or scalar? I know how to read how many letters there are but I need to have my program read the amount of words in a form{'value'} and split them into individual words so I can use the substr and take the first letter of each word in the form value.

Thanks,

perlkid
