Assign to an array the substrings delimited by < >

Question

Is it possible to assign to an array the parts of a block of text that is delimited by < >. For example,

sometexthere <[email protected]> more text
more text moretext <[email protected]>

should produce

@array = qw([email protected] [email protected]);

How can I accomplish this?

this is exactly what i needed. Could you explain to me how it works or what each character is doing (ie the ^ before <>) Thank you for the answer btw too.

[^CHARS] matches any one character that isn't in CHARS.
