There is a syntax difference between the two because there is a syntax difference between the two. If you mean "why is there a difference in result", I would say that the first returns the result of the expression in round brackets, which is the last match, whereas the second, having no () returns whether or not a match was found. The second also performs substitution, unlike the first. To get a,b,c,d you simply want to place ^(.*) ahead of the ending match to trap it ... I am dropping the s/ in this suggestion because it is a side effect so far not justified in the OP. Also I tend to escape punctuation because it might have special meaning, so ...
my ($val) = ($row =~ /^(.*)\,[^\,]*$/);
(untested)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
