Proposed explanation of why CPQ split the last time:

Didn't CPQ authorize a bunch more shares the last split -- many of which were used to acquire DEC? It could be that simple: they wanted to authorize more shares to easily buy DEC (and whoever else they want in the next few years). So, rather than just nakedly authorizing more shares, they threw in a split to maximize the share currency purchasing power.

Just a thought,
