Perl Script Syntax to Extract Everything After Special Character

Hi,

I am writing a Perl script that reads in many lines, if a line meets the criteria I want to edit, it. For example, the script will return the following example line... test=abc123

All I want to do is strip off the "test=" and just be left with the abc123. In my script I can easily return everything before the "=" but for the life of me I can't get everything after the "=". A snipit of the code is...

$line3=<FILE>;
$line3=~ s/^\s+//; #strips off space
$line3=~s/=.*//; #returns everthing before "="

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

print "$line3\n";
