But his line has parentheses. I think these have to be escaped if you want
to match on them: \( and \) otherwise they become capturing "Klaemmer".
(Right?)
Here is what I came up with (I'm sure someone can do this more elegantly):
if ($line =~ /[^(]*\(([^)]+)\)[^(]*\(([^)]+)\)/) {
print "$1 and $2\n";
