Hi, This is just my two cents. I tend write very verbose code (sorry in advance). Most of what I point out here may be obvious. 

$current_url = "http://www.domain.com/sub/name/anothername/page4/";

print "1. $current_url\n";
$save = $current_url;

# adding "|| die" will alert you to a pars problem.
$current_url =~ s/.*?\/(page\d+).*/$1/ || die "Cant pars $current_url\
+n";
print "$current_url\n";

# I personally like to do this, It's a lot more code but it allows
# you to recoved from a pars error.
# or ignore URL's that dont match your expected format)
$current_url = $save;
print "2. $current_url\n";
if ($current_url =~ /^http[s]{0,1}:\/\/.+\/page(\d+).*$/i) {
    $current_url = $1;
    print "Decimal page number is: $current_url\n";
} else {
    print "pars error on $current_url\n";
    #Do what you may with this issue, but you
    # know it happened...
}
