Hi,

Suppose I have this:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;

my $string = "Theres more than 1 way to do it";
if ($string =~ /\w+$/){
print "Hooray! pattern found";
print $1;
}

My goal is to print the last word.
However, it only prints "Hooray! pattern found";

Any idea what's wrong with $1??

Thanks
