To answer your question conclusively a single example isn't sufficient.
You'd have to describe the variability of the input. The way you put
the problem, one could rightly answer "$last_word = 'bsp'", because
that is the only case given. Here is one possibility:

my $last_word = ( /\w+/g)[ -1];

That looks like a Windows file path. If you are trying to parse file
paths you might want to look at File::Basename core module.

Why do you keep calling it a "word"? What if the filename is
"C:\Program Files\Acme\READ ME FIRST!!!.txt"?

Use a module, like the already mentioned File::Basename.
