In the above example if the fname and lname were seperated by more that one
space you would get back strange results. So change the regex to look for 1 or
more spaces .
for example
($first , $last , $other) = split(/\s+/ , $name , 3) ;
print "s+ first=$first last=$last other=$other name=$name \n" ;
