in thread have to Extract substring after '/' character

The tricks in this particular case are escaping the slash with a backslash (\/), ...

Even better, choose a different delimiter. Instead of

if ( $path =~ /\/path\/to\/file/ ) ...

use

if ( $path =~ m{/path/to/file} ) ...

I hope this is of interest.
