(jeffa) Re: delete something from a variable

$var =~ s/\/[^\/]+//;
[download]

should do the trick - match a forward slash (\/), then match one or more non-forward slashes ([^\/]+).

If you don't like having to escape those forward slashes, you can choose another token - i prefer braces because they don't bork my syntax highlighter:

$var =~ s{/[^/]+}{};
