    hi, I'm a newbie to perl :-p

    I want to parse this kind of string:
    /main/abcd/efgh/hhh/3

    to get the rightmost string that is enclosed in '/'. In this case, it's
    'hhh'.

    So, how to do this in Perl? something as '=~ /\/(.*)\//' ?

    or use index()?

    Thanks in advance,
    Liang
