Split text in a line to 3 variables

[felad]

Hi

I have a file with several lines with blank as separator that look like
that:
AAA BBB CCC
BSB NKN OOO yyy uuu
QQQ PPP LKL
BSB NKN OOO yyy

How can I put the first and second words in a line into 2 variables
and the rest of the line into a third variable

my ($first, $second, $third) = split ' ', $_, 3;

See "perldoc -f split".

you should really look at the perldocs...they explain exactly how to do
this. but if you're *really* too lazy to look...

split /PATTERN/, EXPR, LIMIT

my ($field1, $field2, $theRest) = split ' ', $string, 3;
