You're right - I should have had a /g on the Perl example.

However... The point of my original post was not to say that there are 
no differences between Perl and Ruby regexps, but to say that the
behavior of String.split was consistent with Perl's when given a
pattern that matched a zero length string. That seemed to be Conrad's
concern.
