Is it always at the very end of the string?
If not, then are there any other numbers enclosed in parens in the course
names?
Probably the following should work:
$course =~ s/( \(\d+\)$//;
# removes a space followed by an '(' followed by 1 or more digits, followed
by ')' at the end of the string
Feel free to adapt as needed.
