substitution regex question

I'm trying to cut off the text leading up to the whitespace past the >.

For example the string is 'Web & Programming > Testing & QA Contractor' and my regex is $job->{'title'} =~ s/^.+>\s+//; I need to end up with just 'Testing & QA Contractor'. Can someone point me in the right direction?

As you mentioned regex search the maximum quantifiers (greedy), better you will be use the non-greedy matches.

You could use

$job->{'title'} =~ s/^.+?>\s+//;

[Amps]

s/^.+?>\s*//;

I think this is what you are expecting .... even you can use the non-greedy match explained by manimutu for string preceding to '>'
