Need basic parsing/regex help

I'm new to perl (and actually not even really trying to develop this skill - I inherited some code and am trying to enhance it).

Basically, I want to get the text between parts of a text string.
How do I get the parsed variable to contain "WHATEVER IT IS"?
Perl Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. #!/usr/bin/perl
  2. $var="BLAH{108:WHATEVER IT IS}HEY";
  3. $parsed=($var =~ /\{108:(\w*)\}/); 
  4. print "PARSED:$parsed\n";

Worked like a charm. Thanks! (Maybe some day I'll understand it)
