You don't need join(), only split().
($field, $value) = split /:/, $string, 2;
Look into the third argument to split().

Hi guys
I managed to use the "split" and "join" functions to achieve what I wanted.
Many thanks for those who started thinking about a possible approach.

Hi guys
I was wondering if you could help me.
I have the following string:
2010:abc:def:ghi
If I go through this string and find the first colon (:), I want to assign
everything before that colon into variable1
I would like to assign the rest of the string after the first colon into
variable
