$ perldoc -f split
split /PATTERN/,EXPR,LIMIT
split /PATTERN/,EXPR
split /PATTERN/
split Splits a string into a list of strings and returns that list.

Say instead​:
split Splits the string EXPR into a list of strings and returns that list.

Or else one has to man more lines to learn that string is EXPR.
