the code triger the complain is as below :

#!/usr/bin/perl 
use strict;
use warnings;

my $s = "aaa bbb";
my $num_of_item = split(/\s+/, $) ;
print $num_of_item;

when I run the code, perl complains that "Use of implicit split to @_ is deprecated" . I really have no "context" for the problem, so expect you help to explain what's wrong with the code.
