Subject: Suggestion for string parsing

Hi all,
I would like to know if there's a better way to parse a string and
assing values to variables;

Ex:

Client=MPEG-4,390000,700000,24000

I can do

line =~ /(\w*)=([0-9A-Za-z -.:]*),([0-9]*),([0-9]*),([0-9]*)/

and

var1 = $1
var2 = $2
var3 = $3
var4 = $4
var4 = $5

But I'm sure there's a better way, even considering that the number of
parameters can increase and I don't want to write a long regular
expression rule, that is hard to read.

Thanks a lot for any tips
