Re^3: Extracting a domain name from a url

This one is one I've been using in production for a while, and seems to hold up well:

my $url="http://proxy.aol.com:8080/login";
my($host)=$url=~/http:\/\/([^\/]+)/;
[download]

word!

Update: Sorry, I'm a moe - I forgot to add the point of this post in my example!

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience usually comes from bad judgement.

You code fails with the input you gave it. Furthermore, it doesn't work with the other example in the post to which you replied either. `http://proxy.aol.com:8080/` gives `proxy.aol.com:8080` instead of `proxy.aol.com`. `http://user:pass@yahoo.com/login` gives `user:pass@yahoo.com` instead of `yahoo.com`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
