how to match regular expression from right to left

[Liang]

hi, I'm a newbie to perl

I want to parse this kind of string:
/main/abcd/efgh/hhh/3

to get the rightmost string that is enclosed in '/'. In this case, it's
'hhh'.

So, how to do this in Perl? something as '=~ /\/(.*)\//' ?

or use index()?

Thanks in advance,
Liang
