A different approach:

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use URI::URL;
use feature qw(say);

my $url = URI::URL->new(
    q(http://172.20.37.115:8080/se/1.0/provision/subscribers/198968));

# say( map { ( split /\// )[-1] } $url->path );

my ($var) = map { ( split /\// )[-1] } $url->path;

say $var;

__END__

Please see also URI::URL, map, split and TMTOWTDI.

Update: For a better solution (my @paths = $url->path_segments;) please see below.
