perldoc -f substr Just use a negative number for the offset, and it grabs characters from the right.

I am wondering how you would use the VB equivalents of Left$ and Right$ with perl. For example I have 'ABCDEFGH' and I want to get the right three letters: Right('abcdefgh',3) = 'fgh' Left can be done with substring (x,0) I am sure, but what about right?
