Hi everyone, I've got a problem I just cant figure out... I want to remove the initial part of some strings. Example:

"../files/jack/2012/derpone.pdf"

should become "derpone.pdf"

So i have this: 

my $text="../files/jack/2012/derpone.pdf";
$text=~ s/..\/\w*\/\w*\/\d\d\d\d\///g;

[download]

And it works like a charm on Padre. But when I load the .cgi file on the server of my university it doesn't work anymore. 
my $text="../files/jack/2012/derpone.pdf";
$text=~ s/..\/\w*\/\w*\/\d\d\d\d\///g;
$cgi->h1($text),

[download]
It' a copy paste and yet on my webpage i get ../files/jack/2012/derpone.pdf

the regular expression should: ../letters/letters/4 numbers/

What is the problem?
