Update: See "Look-Around Assertions" in the Extended Patterns of perlre.

(And the use of <code> ... </code> tags would still be much appreciated.)

Another Update: If you have Perl version 5.10+, another way (see \K in Extended Patterns):

c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -le
"use 5.010;
 ;;
 my @flist = qw(
   1st-device-CA_Eth.0/1
   2nd-device_TX_Gig.1/1
   3rd_device_MO_Gig.1/1
   );
 ;;
 for my $s (@flist) {
   print qq{'$s'};
   $s =~ s{ .* \K  _ }{,}xms;
   print qq{'$s'};
   print '';
   }
"
'1st-device-CA_Eth.0/1'
'1st-device-CA,Eth.0/1'

'2nd-device_TX_Gig.1/1'
'2nd-device_TX,Gig.1/1'

'3rd_device_MO_Gig.1/1'
'3rd_device_MO,Gig.1/1'
