I'm not sure how to do this, but . . .

OK, so I have a string called $aturl with a URL in it, for example "http://www.mysite.com/asdfom/adsf.htm". Then I have another string, $myuser, that has a domain in it such as "mysite.com". Now, I need to do two things:

1) See if $myuser is withing $aturl, regardless of case. I'm not too worried about this, since I believe I know how to convert a string to lowercase using a regex. I just put this here wondering if it could be fit into #2 (and henceforth the code optimized).

2) If $myuser is in $aturl, put everything _after_ $myuser into a seperate string. The location of $myuser needs to be regardless of case, but the new string needs to have the case it originally did in $aturl.

I hope I'm not bothering the Monks, but I really don't know where to start. I tried searching, but I didn't know what to search for. (If only Perl had MFC, I could do this in a heartbeat . . . sigh.)
