This was tested before. Is this a perl version issue?

changbin@...tr:~$ cat a.pl
my @preserved_kconfigs = split(/:/,$ENV{LMC_KEEP});
print("@preserved_kconfigs")
changbin@...tr:~$ perl a.pl 
changbin@...tr:~$ perl -v      
This is perl 5, version 26, subversion 1 (v5.26.1) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
(with 67 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
