With the parens around JUST the regex it works (but returns a 1).

Assigning the results to an array or using the $1 variable, however, would get around this if the user is having any problems ...

Has anyone else been having problems with PM? I checked my firewall, and it seems that the banners up top keep 'timing-out', so the whole page takes forever to load.

If you're getting a syntax error, perhaps you typed it in wrong.

Perhaps you meant

if($path =~ /(\d+)$/ == 0) {
    print "No number found\n";
} else {
    print "number is $1\n"; 
}
