I am writing a perl script to work with rpm files. Part of it involves matching a RPM filename and determining rpm name and version. Currently I have the following test case

#!/usr/bin/perl -w $filename = "urpmi-parallel-ssh-4.0-20.1mdk.noarch.rpm"; print "$filename\n"; if ($filename =~ m/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)(\-\w+)*-([0-9.]+)-([0-9.]+mdk)\.(\w+ +)\.rpm/) { print $1 . "\n"; print $2 . "\n"; print $3 . "\n"; print $4 . "\n"; }

I want this to print

urpmi-parallel-ssh-4.0-20.1mdk.noarch.rpm urpmi-parallel-ssh 4.0-20.1mdk noarch rpm
Instead it currently prints:
urpmi-parallel-ssh-4.0-20.1mdk.noarch.rpm urpmi -ssh 4.0 20.1mdk

Unfortunately I am struggling to get further. If anyone can help I would appreciate it. Also if there are better approaches to this problem please let me know.

I can't get RPM to install and the RPM file is not local
