regex not matching exact...

Hello Everyone,,

I am trying to matching a string which is in the format of
./pro_ones
So i've tried a few things like:

$VAR1 =~ /\.\/w\w\w_\w\w\w\w$/;
and
$VAR1 =~ /^\.\//;
and
$VAR =~ /\.\/\w_\w/;
and 
$VAR =~/\.\/\w*\W\w*/; 

Any Suggestions ? 
Thanks,

oops,,, forgot to state that a large string is contained in
$VAR, which
i am then trying to match the ./pro_ones string which may be
in $VAR

Thanks,
