The best way is probably to use the string module.  The line below
(untested) should provide you with a variable in the REQUEST called
'your_split_variable_which_is_now_a_list' that is a list of the two halves
of your original variable.

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('your_split_variable_which_is_now_a_list',
string.split(your_variable, '-'))">
