I am getting the desired output.
The extra space should not make a difference, since split(' ') is a
special case that splits on all kinds of whitespace.
The extra space *does* make a difference:
$ perl -le'$_ = qq[abc\t \t \t\tdef]; print ">$_<" for split q[ ]; print
">$_<" for split q[ ]'
>abc<
>def<
>abc def<
Ouch! I should have tested before saying that...
But then it's hard to understand that the OP gets the desired output
with the extra space.
