default split of empty string should return empty list

           Summary: default split of empty string should return empty list
           Product: ORO
           Version: 2.0
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal

List tokenList = new ArrayList();
new Perl5Util.split(tokenList,"");
if( 0 != 
tokenList.length())
   System.out.println("aiee!  this doesn't work like any perl I 
know!");


The javadoc on this is quite clear, and states that it should match the 
functionality of split(/\s+/,"") , which returns an empty list on all of the versions of perl I 
could find back to 5.003
