in reply to Regex output incorrect

Original OP 
    use strict;
    use warnings;

    my $folder_path = "/aboutiso/corp_gov/bod/agendas/2010/";
    my $try = "index.html";
    my $test = "$folder_path/$try";
    $folder_path =~ s#/\w+/[^/]*.\w+$##;
    print "folderpath: $folder_path\n";

gives me incorrect output: /aboutiso/corp_gov

I'm trying to print /aboutiso/corp_gov/bod/agendas

No, it doesn't print that.

Based on what you posted, you want to remove the trailing "/2010/", so 

$folder_path =~ s{/[^/]*/\z}{};
