Re: How to replace the cut command from cshell in Perl

File::Basename is the best way to go, but sometimes if I'm feeling particularly obtuse, I might use something like:</>

my $file = (split(/\//, $path))[-1];
[download]

I don't recommend it tho :)

or: `@parts = split(/\//); $file1 = pop @parts;` [download] in case the parts might be useful later, but YMMV (may want to chomp if there's a \n on there) - not wildly recommended either. a	[reply] [d/l]
