Re: Capturing Base Name of a File With or Without Path

Like this?

use File::Basename;   
my $name = basename($file_with_path2,'.out','.some_other_ext'); 
print "$name\n";

This also works with file name comes without path. Read the documentation, there are many things you can do with this very useful module.
