[wplug] Perl split on null?

[larry at daberko.com]

I'm trying to split a string that's null delimited.

Hexdump shows the data as:
00000e40  2f 75 73 65 72 73 2f 6c  61 72 72 79 64 00 00 4c

00000e50  61 72 72 79 20 44 61 62  65 72 6b 6f 00 2d 00 2d  |arry

Doing in perl:
        @splitresult = split (//, $value);
        $joinresult = join(':', @splitresult);
        print "$joinresult\n";
outputs:
/:u:s:e:r:s:/:l:a:r:r:y:d:::L:a:r:r:y: :D:a:b:e:r:k:o::-::-

Split does catch the null , but I want it to split ONLY on the null.

Suggestions?
