in reply to Get the filename from the end of a URL

File::Basename works just fine for URLs are well as real filenames: 
use File::Basename;

print basename 'http://www.plenty.org/downloads/crap.exe';

Update: This does break if the url is something like http://www.plenty.org/downloads/crap.exe?foo=/path/to/something. But so do the others example, I believe.
