please use <code> tags around your code.

> Is there any easy way to get it?

No, not what you intend with "easy"!

Use a regex or split or substr to isolate what you wanted from the full path

edit

  DB<106> $head="/tmp/";$tail="/foo/file" 
 => "/foo/file"

  DB<107> $path= <$head*$tail>
 => "/tmp/bla/foo/file"

  DB<108> ($middle) = $path =~ /^\Q$head\E(.*)\Q$tail\E$/
 => "bla"

Easy enough! (?)

update

FWIW a one liner:

  DB<109> ($middle) = <$head*$tail> =~ /^\Q$head\E(.*)\Q$tail\E$/
 => "bla"

[download]

update
added quotemeta

update

Not sure if I misunderstood your question or if you phrasing is just fuzzy. What are folder names inside dir2 ?
