Check out the File::Spec module. Specifically the splitpath method:

       splitpath
         Splits a path in to volume, directory, and filename
         portions. On systems with no concept of volume, returns
         '' for volume.

             ($volume,$directories,$file) = File::Spec->splitpath( $pa
+th );
             ($volume,$directories,$file) = File::Spec->splitpath( $pa
+th, $no_file );

         For systems with no syntax differentiating filenames
         from directories, assumes that the last file is a path
         unless $no_file is true or a trailing separator or /. or
         /.. is present. On Unix this means that $no_file true
         makes this return ( '', $path, '' ).

         The directory portion may or may not be returned with a
         trailing '/'.

         The results can be passed to the catpath() entry
         elsewhere in this documentto get back a path equivalent
         to (usually identical to) the original path.

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.
