You should probably use do
my @match = $str =~ / ([^]+) (?:\([0-9]+).*\)? ([a-z]+)/;
my ($a, $b, $c) = (scalar(@match) == 3 ? @match : $match[0], undef,
$match[1]);

I have the following string I want to extract from:
my $str = "foo (3 bar): baz";
and I want to to extract to end up with
$p1 = "foo";
$p2 = 3;
$p3 = "baz";
the complication is that the \s(\d\s.+) is optional, so in then $p2 may
not be set.
getting close was
my ($p1, $p3) = $str =~ /^(.+):

You should be able to do that in just a few lines
I have some text files from which I would like to remove the first
line, but only if it's blank. Any hints? I tried a few things, but
the results haven't quite been satisfactory.
Thanks!
