line match

Hi,
I have the follwing inside a variable .. basically its the stdout/stderr.
<QUOTE>
Sending request .................
server response .........
received my response ...
I am Analysing response...
-this is the output xx!p:9009
-next line is 64
I'm done !
<UNQUOTE>

I'm interested in grabbing the PID ( i.e 9009 ).
Can someone suggest how to go about this ?

How do you get the value in the variable? It's just that it would be easier if you read it into an array of lines

use strict;
use warnings;

my @stuff = <DATA>;
chomp @stuff;

foreach (@stuff) {
    print "$1\n" if (/p:p:(\d+)$/);
}

__DATA__
Sending request .................
server response .........
received my response ...
I am Analysing response...
-this is the output xx!p:p:9009
-next line is 64
I'm done !

because the matching is less complicated.
