   What is the best way to parse a string within PERL where I would like it
   to behave sort of like ksh.

   I have used the split command by splitting on white space, but I would
   like everything enclosed in quotes to be one string.

   ie.

   $x='please "help me split" this line';

   ->  $a[1]='please'
       $a[2]='help me split'
       $a[3]='this'
       $a[4]='line'


   Thank you,

   Holger.


require "shellwords.pl";
$x='Please "help me split" this line';
@X=&shellwords($x);
print "X[0]=$X[0],X[1]=$X[1]\n";
