in thread Split a string based on change of character

But $i^=$i makes $i 0 at once. So it's different to $i=!$i

Back in the ancient times of C64 Basic I used j=1-j


s$$([},&%#}/&/]+}%&{})*;#$&&s&&$^X.($'^"%]=\&(|?*{%
+.+=%;.#_}\&"^"-+%*).}%:##%}={~=~:.")&e&&s""`$''`"e

    I think ikegami meant $i^=1, i.e.:

    my @words = grep $i^=1, split /(?<=(.))(?!\1)/, $string;
    which does work.
