I assume that what you're looking for here is the string '/org/trans/program files/dir1/subdir1/subdir2/file1.cpp'.
Crafting a regex to extract the file name without having a format you can rely on is going to be tricky.
However, if you are always going to be looking for a '.cpp' file, then the following will work: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
 
use strict;
 
my $data = join '', <DATA>;
 
my ($filename) = ($data =~ m|^Module: (.*\.cpp)$|ms);
 
$filename =~ s|\n||;
 
print $filename;
 
__DATA__
Module: /org/trans/program
files/dir1/subdir1/subdir2/file1.cpp
