Greetings Monks. I am having issues with my regex that is driving me NUTS!! Here's the scenario:

I have the following data assigned to variable $BE_temp:

+--------------+-------------+ | version_name | schema_name | +--------------+-------------+ | dsmgt_03_03 | dsmgt_03 | +--------------+-------------+
I need to extract the two "dsmgt*" pieces into 2 different variables. I have tried a multitude of methods, but none are working. The latest attempt:
$BE_temp =~ m/^\|\s(\w+_\d+)\s+\|\s+(\w+)\s+\|$/m; my $LSV = $1; my $LSN = $2;

Any thoughts on what I've got wrong? I'm the first to admit that RE is not my strong suit...

Thank you in advance for the assistance!!
