Hey all, I seem to remember seeing this done somewhere, but now I can't figure out how to do it now.
If you have a function that returns a list, such as split(), is there a way to only return one item from that list, as if you were working with an array? For instance, if you have something like this: my $path = '/big/long/path/to/something.txt'; my @dirs = split(/\//,$path); my $filename = $dirs[$#dirs]; Is there a way to eliminate the storing of each directory in @dirs, and just assign $filename straight to the last item of what split() returns? I'm not sure if it can be done, and if it can, I'm probably overlooking something obvious... either way, I can't figure it out.
