in thread Simple Regex needed

Just for completeness, the way I've been doing it (because I didn't know about File::Basename either) is this: 
 
my ( $basename ) = reverse split /\//, "/tmp/app/foo";

Now I'm going to go back and change my code to use File::Basename. Thanks, merlyn!

    The only problem with this is that it's not portable: it'll work on Unix, but probably not on MS Windows.
