Nope. Sorry: I could try it before posting.
I tried duplicating the 1st rindex [1] but it don't works; I named two
files "the new world.avi" and "the new world.antani.avi". For the
first file imdb.pl works but not for the second.

Can I use only one rule to avoid anything after a dot?

#####
[1] Here the modified part of imdb,pl
# dump Movie list:  1 entry per line, each line as 'movieid:Movie Title'
sub getMovieList {
   my ($filename, $options)=@_; # grab parameters

   # If we wanted to inspect the file for any reason we can do that now

   #
   # Convert filename into a query string
   # (use same rules that Metadata::guesTitle does)
   my $query = $filename;
   $query = uri_unescape($query);  # in case it was escaped
   # Strip off the file extension
   if (rindex($query, '.') != -1) {
      $query = substr($query, 0, rindex($query, '.'));
   }
   # Trying to strip off anything in the filename after a dot
   if (rindex($query, '.') != -1) {
      $query = substr($query, 0, rindex($query, '.'));
   }
