Annoyingly, split / /, $foo; and split ' ', $foo; are not the same thing. split ' ', $foo is a special case that means to split on all sequences of whitespace. It means the same thing as split /\s+/, $foo; In your statement, you're only splitting on a single whitespace character. There are two spaces in your string, so you're getting a null string as the second element of the returned list, since there is a "nothing" in between the two space characters.
