What are you trying to accomplish with the my @sf = split; ?

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James

    It could be for splitting off the first word from a web server access log, where lines could look like eg. 

    95.108.157.251 - - [23/May/2011:19:02:56 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 9
+6 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; YandexBot/3.0; +http://yandex.com/bot
+s)"

    Though in that case, splitting on a dot might not be a good idea, especially because the first field could also be an ipv6 address, such as 2001:738:2001:2010:0:ff:fe00:3.
