@ Samuel's answer is tailored to your needs, but if you want a common way of extracting a filename from a full path name, you can use it:

  Strict Use; Use warnings; File :: Use the basinum; My ($ name, $ path, $ suffix) = fileparse ("/ example / path / test.java", qw / .java /); Print "name: $ name \ n"; Print "path: $ path \ n"; Print "suffix: $ suffix \ n";  

It prints:

  name: test path: / example / path / suffix: .java
