Hi Kris,
What you're looking for is File::Basename.
[ovid@ovid ovid]$ perl -MFile::Basename -le 'print basename("/usr/bin/perl")'
perl
[ovid@ovid ovid]$ perl -MFile::Basename -le 'print dirname("/usr/bin/perl")'
/usr/bin
Cheers,
Ovid

Someone asked me how to count to 10 in Perl:
push@A,$_ for reverse q.e...q.n.;for(@A){$_=unpack(q|c|,$_);@a=split//;
shift@a;shift@a if $a[$[]eq$[;$_=join q||,@a};print $_,$/for reverse @A
