Yes. I was aware of the availability of function from File::Basename. However, in order to use it you needed to have prior knowledge of the filename which was being passed to the module ie you needed to know how many periods are in the filename. This wouldn't work very well if you were going through a whole list of files that were not structured the same. That is one reason I wrote this lil sub because it doesn't care how many period '.' delimiters are in the filename. It will always return the full filename minus the last part of the filename which is what I have always considered to be the extension.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
