Question : get file name from URL string

In Perl, I want to strip out the web location from a string and only leave the file name of the document.

let's say the string is:

my $myURL = $ENV{HTTP_REFERER};

$myURL now contains the string "http://www.mydomain.com/dir1/dir2/dir3/page.html";

I want to extract the filename from the string and be left with:

my $myFile = "page.html";

What is the code to do this?  I'm still trying to understand the string functions of Perl, so a description of the solution would also be very helpful.  Thanks in advance!

Answer : get file name from URL string

$myURL =~ s/.*\///g;

This will remove the data till the last '/' in the string variable
