Hi.

Why do two splits, when one would do?

my ($first, $second) = split /::/, $readline, 3;

or more simply 
my (@fields) = split /::/, $readline;

Cheers,

$q=[split+qr,,,q,~swmi,.$,],+s.$.Em~w^,,.,s,.,$&&$$q[pos],eg,print

    Agreed, but the original post asked for either the first or the second; so I assumed that was all he wanted... In fact, if you don't want to use the list assignment you could do it also like this: 
     my $first = ( split /::/, $readline, 2 )[ 0 ];

    Many, many ways of doing the same... And how I love it ;-)
