I have the following string 

A1=<m,n>:<p,q>:<s,t>...go on

[download]

I have to extract values m,n,p,q,s,t from the above string. How do i do it?.

Edit : sorry guys posting my code, was busy 

my $string = "<1,2>:<5,7>:<3,0>";
my @x = split /\s*[,:]\s*/, $string;
print "Extraction = @x\n";
print "1st element = $x[0]";

my problem is how to get rid of "<" and ">", i have to write some regex for that

EDIT : SOLUTION solution which i find is the most suitable with any type of digit extraction from this kind of string 

my @a = $string =~ m[\s*<\s*(\d+)\s*,\s*(\d+)\s*>\s*]g;

this also might work but for my 2 development machines , one of them it was giving me compilation error 

my @a = $string =~ m/(\d+)/ag; #compilation error : couldn't recognise
+ what is 'a'
