Re: Using split

And if I'm not completly mistaken in what your snippet does ~~and you're lucky enough to have perl 5.8 lying around,~~ using File::Basename may be of interest.

Edit:: You live and learn. I searched with perldoc -f basename and perldoc -q basename and then CPAN and since perl* both found nothing and CPAN returned perl-5.8.0 I started to non-think...

File::Basename was a Perl core module for ages (it is not mentioned in perl5004delta and perldelta so I presume it was avialable even in 5.003). Anyway here an example of its usage: `use File::Basename; my $fname = basename('/home/bin/scripts/test.pl');` [download] -- Ilya Martynov, ilya@iponweb.net CTO IPonWEB (UK) Ltd Quality Perl Programming and Unix Support UK managed @ offshore prices - http://www.iponweb.net Personal website - http://martynov.org	[reply] [d/l]
