perl regex to match all words following a character
===

I am no expert with perl and regex. So here is my question.

How would I write a regex for matching all words in a string to the right of a specified character and retrieve each word separately in perl? 

I don't understand how I could match unspecified number of words and then most importantly retrieve it one at a time? If that is not possible what is my best bet in perl to get this done?

eg: I have a C assignment like b=var1+var2. I want to be able to extract var1 and var2 if it exists. The important thing is I donot want to match a specific var1 and var2. But any variable after the assignment operator.

Thanks for the help!
