I seek your wisdom PerlMonks. I am attempting to parse
a directory based on "/". After which I plan on using a regex
to capture the number part of the string. Here is an example of a directory:

"/Users/mydirectory/Desktop/BioinfDev/SequenceAssemblyProject/KOMP/11350_Znrf4"
When I run my script I get the error message:
"Global symbol "@fields" requires explicit package name at get_maid_num.pl line 10." 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;

my $komp_dir ='/Users/mydirectory/Desktop/BioinfDev/SequenceAssemblyPr
+oject/KOMP/';
my @komp_dir = glob("/Users/mydirectory/Desktop/BioinfDev/SequenceAsse
+mblyProject/KOMP/*");

foreach $komp_dir(@komp_dir) {
    if (-d $komp_dir){
        $komp_dir = split /\//;
        ($komp_dir = $fields[6]) =~ /(^\d*)_(\w*)$/;
        print "$1\n";
        next;
    }
}

I believe that it is how I am doing the regex. Is there a
way to combine the split and regex capture into one
line? If not I still need to capture the $1.
I humbly request the wisdom of the monks.
