Perl Extract String

Hi,
I have a string like

"something is good wanted (bla bla)"

I need to get the world "wanted" from this string and "assign it to a variable".. but it's not a static word so i want to get that word by searching the pattern as follows

<space>desiredword<space>(

and i tried to get that word by
Code:
$string =~ m/\s.*?\s\(/gi;

How can i do this?

Many thanks in advance..
