The parsing of such an ambiguous expression depends on the prototypes of the subroutines/functions involved. `#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use feature qw{ say }; sub single ($) { chr $_[0] } sub two ($$) { join "", map chr, @_ } say for split single 32, 'a b c'; say for split two(32, 32), 'a b c'; # This fails with "Too many arguments for main:two" say for split two(32, 32), 'a b c';` [download] split can take more than one argument, so it greedily takes all it can. > Unless this problem is fixed It's not a problem, it's a documented behaviour. `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Perl doesn't require you to not use parenthesis so just add them in as required for your comfort level. Why is that a problem? `get_config(split(/$s/), $_); get_config(split(/$s/, $_));` [download] Optimising for fewest key strokes only makes sense transmitting to Pluto or beyond	[reply] [d/l]
