in thread special pattern reading

your version reads the first "3" characters and everything after ".c" I need to read everything until the 3rd special character before the "/"

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use feature qw{ say };

my $string = '!2!ab!!!!/pack/something/whatever.cacshdska';

my ($before, $after) = $string =~ /(...)\W.*something.*\.c(.*)/;
say for $before, $after;

Output is "!2!acshdska" while I need output to be "!2!ab!acshdska" sorry if I wasn't clear enough ...my bad.

    OK, I think I understand now. Or don't I? 
    #!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use feature qw{ say };

for my $string ( '?!?!?!/pack/something/whatever.cacshdska',
                 '!2!ab!!!!/pack/something/whatever.cacshdska',
               ) {
    my ($before, $after) = $string =~ m{(.*)..\W/.*\.c(.*)};
    say "$before | $after";
}
