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"?
#!/usr/bin/perl
$var="BLAH{108:WHATEVER IT IS}HEY";
$parsed=($var =~ /\{108:(\w*)\}/);
print "PARSED:$parsed\n";
