Your split statement seems to be wrong. split uses a regex to match so
it should be:
split /\\/, $file_path;
There is nothing at all wrong with the OP's split. Single quotes are
a perfectly legitamite delimiter for a regular expression. And why
did you change the OP's from splitting on a front-slash to splitting
on a back-slash?
However it was a little confusing to write
split '\/', $file_path;
when what was meant was
split '/', $file_path;
The former appears to split on the literal value '\/' but, because the
string is reinterpolated into a regex, the effect is the same as just '/'.
Bizarrely, to actually split on '\/' would require
split '\\\/', $file_path;
