Since I am not familiar with your data I will assume that it occurs anywhere is $line you want to still match. m/\s*ORA-(\d+)\s+/
Any spaces characters followed by ORA- followed by any digits 0-9 followed by any space characters. Using the () you have placed that portion of the match into variable $1.
