split a word after n-letters (regexp?)

[Stephan Hochhaus]

A question I assume can be answered using regexp, unfortunately I am 
just starting my way into it. I have a bunch of words that I want to 
split, so that the first letters (minus n) and the last n-letters are 
seperated.
n is user defined and therefore not static.

How can I have Perl split at the last n-letters from the end of a word?
Any help is appreciated (hints as where to find the answer myself 
without buying a book are also very welcome!)
