Trying to strip some character in perl
I have some character strings and I would like to know how can I remove them using perl. My file contains the following output shown below.

An example of a string in the file:

+ netmck(uid=500)-root
+ netmck(uid=500)-root
+ netmck(uid=500)-root
+ netmck(uid=0)-root
.
.
.

I would like to remove the character string --> (uid=500) or (uid=0) using perl if possible and leaving the rest so I can continue processing.

Any help would be appreciated.
