I have a line:
  i.like.donuts.but.only.with.tea

now I want to remove everything that follows the last "."
including the last ".".

in this case ".tea"

I hav absulte no idea. I tried something like:

@parts = splite /\./, $line; 

$parts[-1] = undef;

foreach $parts (@parts) {
  $newline .= "$parts.";
}

but then I got a dot at the end of the line.

Thanks,

Bastian
