Hello monks! I'm a little new to this and I can't figure out a way to parse off of a back slash? My current output is:

6/21/2001 11:55:04 Object Name: \Device\HarddiskDmVolumes\PhysicalDmVolumes\BlockVolume2\CISER\ArchiveData^ Primary User Name: jch6^ but I want it to look like this:
6/21/2001 11:55:04 \CISER\ArchiveData Primary User Name: jch6
Current code is a mess and I'm sure it could be handled better 
#!/user/bin/perl -w
use win32;
#use strict;
use warnings;
my $infile="dump1.txt";
my $outfile="newdump.txt";
my @x=();

open(FILE, $infile) or die "log560.pl can't open $infile for reading: 
+$!";
open(OUTPUT,">$outfile") or die "log560.pl can't open $outfile for wri
+ting: $!";

#Look only at the summary lines where $_ == 560
while (defined ($_ = <FILE>)) {
    next unless ($_ =~ /560/);  #we only want the files with 560
    $_ =~ s/`/,/g;      #this is here to get the user name because ' i
+s after name
    @x=split(/,/);
    if (!($x[16] =~ /Primary User Name:    CISERFS1/)) {  #dont want t
+he details from the sytem
my $date=$x[1];     #good 
my $time=$x[2];  #good
my $disk=$x[12]; #good
my $user=$x[16]; #good

print OUTPUT "$date $time $disk $user \n";   #good
    }   #end if the one WAY up there the one for ciserf1
} # end while
close FILE;
