my $url = "http://google.com/folder/1234.html";

my @parts = split /\//, $url;

(my $numbers )= $parts[-1] =~ m/(\d+)/;

print $numbers;

# 1234

That's a bit wordy, and you're using multiple regular expressions. If you make your regular expression a little more complex, you can do it like this:

my $url = "http://google.com/folder/1234.html";
my $numbers = $url;
$numbers =~ s#^.*(\d+)[^/]*$#$1#;
print $numbers;

When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.
