That should be "a pattern matching the empty string".
The "empty regex" works differently:
perl -wle '
my $text = "abcdefghi";
$text =~ /[aeiou]/;
$text =~ /x/;
my @result = $text =~ //g;
print "@result";
'
a e i
(admire how 'regex' and 'regular expression' are avoided in perldoc -f split)
Please Shlomi, you have taught me nothing despite repeated reading of
your post. Please tell me what is wrong with the OP's

Are you trying to say that any regular expression that can match zero
character will also suffice? How does your code demonstrate the point
you are making?
