Update: Just ignore this entire node, it's completely wrong. I'd like to blame it on answering before I finish my first cup of coffee, but in fact I just learned something new: the $ matches the end of line characters too, so my suggestion was entirely wrong. Thanks ++ to jethro for the catch, and I'm sorry for the hideously ugly node!

PerlScholar:

You're forgetting the end-of-line character(s). Try this:

my ($build) = ($vadata =~ /=(\d+)\s*$/);

...roboticus

Update: Fixed code, added parenthesis around $build. Thanks to Erez for pointing it out. An intermediate update was:

You're forgetting the end-of-line character(s). Try this regex: /=(\d+)\s*$/

Update: I replaced the node content, as it was simpler than trying to edit it to show differences between original and updated content.
