split up text
if my variable contains
$myvar="this=is=a=test=str
and i do
($x,$y)=split("=",$myvar);
then $x becomes "this"
and $y becomes "is"
but how do i split it so that
$x becomes "this"
and $y becomes "is=a=test=string";
ie $y becomes the rest of the string
thanks

Or this:

$y=join("=",@y);
Rob
($x,@y)=split("=",$myvar);
$y=join("=",@y);

Or this:
($x,$y)=$myvar=~/^(.+?)=(.
Rob
($x,$y)=$myvar=~/^(.+?)=(.
