No need to use a regex, especially since a regex will have to go through
the whole string.
# if there is a comma, get the last one
if (($last_comma = rindex($string, ",")) != -1) {
# replace it with ", or"
substr($string, $last_comma, 1, ", or");
}
The regex to do that would be
s/,(?=[^,]*$)/, or/;
Maybe you'd like to use the regex approach, though.
