# given 'name, age, dob, email'

$string->split(', '); # ['name', 'age', 'dob', 'email']
$string->split(', ', 2); # ['name', 'age, dob, email']

The split method splits the string into a list of strings, separating each chunk by the argument (string or regexp object), and returns that list as an array reference. This method optionally takes a second argument which would be the limit (number of matches to capture). Note, this operation expects the 1st argument to be a Regexp object or a String. This method returns a array object.
