You migght try this:

use warnings;
use strict;

my @str = qw(Gambia001.tiff Gambia0021.tiff Gambia031.tiff Gambia035.tiff);

foreach my $str (@str) {
my($num) = $str =~ /(\d+)/;
print "$str : $num\n";
}

output:

$ perl extrt.pm
Gambia001.tiff : 001
Gambia0021.tiff : 0021
Gambia031.tiff : 031
Gambia035.tiff : 035
