Re^2: elements not reversing inside a map

Unfortunately, that will not do what I want when the filename contains a '.'

perl -le '$,=":";print reverse split /\./, "filename.200505.ext", 2'

>200505.ext:filename
[download]

when I would want (unbeknownst to all) ext:filename.200505

To parse the file extension, just capture the text following the last `.`: `$filename =~ /(?<=\.)([^.]+)$/;`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
