Indeed. My take on the matter is ... what this person wants to get is: “this-or-that part of ‘a domain name.’” And it so happens that the “obvious way” to get there is... “well, (obviously) I have to (figure out how to) write a regular expression” before I'll be able to “get that.”
And I'm reaching over and hitting the Pause button and saying... “oh, really?” I'll bet that there's a very good CPAN-module already out there which will give you the answer that you want. I'll wager that in fact you don't have to tackle regular-expressions in order to get the result you want, because somebody out there has already done it and has done it very well.

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).
