Hi all, how do i get the complete string which has matched via regex when using Perl Expect. 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Expect;
use Getopt::Long;

      my $exp = Expect->spawn("/usr/bin/ssh $username\@$ip")
    or die "Cannot spawn ssh: $!\n";;

      /* removed the ssh handling code */

     $exp->send("show backup status\n");
     $result=$exp->expect( $timeout,
        ['-re',qr'Backup file location:',sub {my $exp = shift;
                $exp->print_log_file($backup_Complete);
                $i=0;
                        }

        ],
        ['-re',qr'>']
    );

Out put of the above command is :

local backup succeeded.

Backup file location: /var/log/CPbackup/backups/x.x/x.x.x.x_01_1_Aug_2
+016_11_05.tgz 

Backup process finished in 00:48 seconds

How do we extract "location: /var/log/CPbackup/backups/x.x/x.x.x.x_01_1_Aug_2016_11_05.tgz" line from the output with perl expect ? Do note that i have tried to use $exp->match() but just displayes "Backup file location:" which is the regex
