No, not what you intend with "easy"!
Use a regex or split or substr to isolate what you wanted from the full path
edit
DB<106> $head="/tmp/";$tail="/foo/file"
=> "/foo/file"
DB<107> $path= <$head*$tail>
=> "/tmp/bla/foo/file"
DB<108> ($middle) = $path =~ /^\Q$head\E(.*)\Q$tail\E$/
=> "bla"
Easy enough! (?)
update
FWIW a one liner:
DB<109> ($middle) = <$head*$tail> =~ /^\Q$head\E(.*)\Q$tail\E$/
=> "bla"
update
added quotemeta

Not sure if I misunderstood your question or if you phrasing is just fuzzy. What are folder names inside dir2 ?
