You can also do this without a regex, by using split on the ‘/’ character to produce a list, and then subscripting the list to get the desired field:
#! perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $count = 0;
for my $line (<DATA>)
{
my $name = (split '/', $line)[4];
print "Name #", ++$count, " is '", $name, "'\n";
}
__DATA__
.co.uk/Jobs/Company-Sector/C8A6446X4PND86M9WYJ/Tradewind/?APath=2.21.0
+.0.0
.com/Stuff/Somewhere/ABCD789/Peabody/?APath=2.0.12.1.3
.com.au/More-Stuff/Anywhere/XYZ12345/Perkins/?APath=4.5.6.7.8
Output:
0:14 >perl 390_SoPW.pl
Name #1 is 'Tradewind'
Name #2 is 'Peabody'
Name #3 is 'Perkins'
0:18 >
Hope that helps,

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).
