Re: Getting a base name

You should use

$base = (split(/\./,$fname))[0];

and better solution is File::Basename

It’s not immediately apparent how you would use it though (File::Basename). See Re: Parse out the extension of a filename - return base of filename. for an example which copes with no dots and multiples dots in a file name (something which none of these examples do) --- my name's not Keith, and I'm not reasonable.
