It looks like needlessly terse code to me even though it probably works great. Relying on ($bname = $fname) to bind the lefthand value ($bname) with the RE is accurate, but it's difficult to read. The substitution regular expression isn't all that hard to read, but should have been documented, although then you would have:
s#.*\\##s; # comments here.
So perhaps a different delimiter would have been prudent. Why not: s{.*\\}[]s # comments here? It would be a little more legible, and could tell the reader what's going on. Of course there's always YAPE::Regex::Explain that can get you out of a bind when things get cryptic.

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).
