As u probably have guessed some part of my code is not working properly and i don't understand why!!

This is the code.
#####################################
$file_completename =~ /(.*?)\.(.*)/;
if ($2 eq $extension]) {
#DO SOMETHING!!!
}
#####################################
As u see, i'm trying to separate the complete name of a file in two parts, the filename ($1) and the extension($2)... then i check to see whatever a extension is of some kind and if it is, i do something.
However this doesn't work. Because in $2, perl adds a "." before the extension.
4 example: if file_completename equal to "myfile.jpeg", then $2 equials to ".jpeg", but it should be "jpeg".
What am i doing wrong?
Thank u very much,
Marcelo Taube
