with regex, something like /([^/]*)$/ should work. This looks for any character except the '/' at the end of the string and store the result in $1. Note that /foo/bar/ would match an empty string since the path ends with a '/'. Myself, I prefer to use the File::Basename module. perldoc File::Basename for more information.
