The problem seems to be the (^|[\/\\]) - loosing the ^| from the group i.e.

  my ($name) = $path =~ m#(?​:[\/\\])([\w-]+)(?​:\.\w+)$#;

  print "'$name'\n";

Does the expected - provided of course that there is a / or \ in the string.

Note that this is with multiplicity _ON_

Multiplicity does not affect the problem.

This patch adds tests for the expected behaviour.
