The other suggestions may be what hotshot wanted, but they are not what he asked for ... not that it is very clear what he is asking for, but you might do well to consider the differences between this and the other solutions:

for ("siteConfigView", "siteConfigDelete (with ws and lc extras)  ") {
    my $last = (/([A-Z][^\WA-Z]*)/g)[-1];
    print "$last\n";
}

Now, s/\*/+/ if that fits your idea of "word" better. And of course, if your string is really long, this version is likely slow. Use with care :-)
