Hello monks, I would like your help in understanding the use of map to do hash assignments, ive looked at the faq on here, the cookbook and the camel book but I cant quite work this out.. I have two strings in an array 
my @teststr;
my %testhash;

$teststr[0] = "32977186    4 -rw-r--r--   1 owner   mygrp   65 Aug  4 
+13:16 /long/path/to/my/file/file1.txt";
$teststr[1] = "32977186    4 -rw-r--r--   1 owner   mygrp   65 Aug  4 
+13:16 /long/path/to/my/file/file2.txt";

and I want to put them in the hash to show 
file1=>file1.txt
file2=>file2.txt

it works fine if I use foreach: 
foreach my $line (@teststr)
 { my ($key, $val);
    $val = (split /\//, $line)[-1];
   ($key = $val)  =~ s/\.txt//;
     $testhash{$key} = $val;
}

but I think I should be able to use map to do this, I cant seem to account for the changing $_ 
my %testhash = map  {(my $val = (split /\//, $_)[-1]); ((my $key = $va
+l)  =~ s/\.txt//);} @teststr;

[download]
gives 
1 => 1

i think im getting the return value of the s//, so how can I do the split then run the regex on the result? thanks
