Just to provide another way:
my $string = "calendarview.pl?loginid=102138&month=04&year=2003&studen
+t_id=&user_type=TUTOR&CalendarName=102138Academic&framename=top.index
+_main&session_number=618280744437303";
my $i = index($string,"CalendarName=") + length("CalendarName=");
my $j = index($string, "&", $i);
substr($string,$i,$j-$i) = "";
I don't recommend it, but I'm always astounded that this is possible, maybe one enlightened monk can come up with a suggestion where this lvalue-assignement (?!?) is useful.
Update: in Re: Replace zero-width grouping?, BrowserUk comes up with a good use of an substr lvalue--assignement.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
