Hi,

If my url is http://www.perlmonks.com/index.pl?node=Seekers, I am trying to get my script name, i.e. index.pl.

I use $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get the current url.

I have some params attached to the url which I access via $ENV{QUERY_STRING}.

So in order to get index.pl (as in the example above) I use the following: 

  $attach1 = $ENV{REQUEST_URI};
  if($attach1 =~ /\\/){
    my @filename_parts = split /\\/,$attach1;
    my $length = scalar(@filename_parts);
    $attach1 = $filename_parts[--$length];
  }
  if($attach1 =~ /\//){
    my @filename_parts = split /\//,$attach1;
    my $length = scalar(@filename_parts);
    $attach1 = $filename_parts[--$length];
  }

The above gives me index.pl?node=Seekers, half way there.

To strip off ?node=Seekers I use the following: 

  $paramstr = "\?".$ENV{QUERY_STRING};
  $attach1 =~ s/$paramstr/;

And that is where my code breaks. How do I strip off the query string so I am left with index.pl?
