Wouldn't this work the same (and save one byte golfing...):
($lname, $fname) = m#^(.*?)[,/ ]+(.*)$#;

This would have worked modifying the left side of the "=", right?
my ($lname, $foo, $fname) = ($res->get_gst_name =~ /^(\w+)(,|\/)(\w+)$/);
(Then just ignore $foo...)

$ cat /tmp/d.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
$_ = "Linder, Dan";
($lname, $fname) = m#^(.*?)[,/]\s+(.*)$#;
print "[$lname][$fname]\n";

$_ = "Linder, Dan";
($lname, $fname) = m#^(.*?)[,/ ]+(.*)$#;
print "[$lname][$fname]\n";

$ /tmp/d.pl
[Linder][Dan]
[Linder][Dan]
