Perl Whitespace Reg Expression

Alright you Perl Heads, here's one for you.

    I have a line like this:


    abcdef<1 to many spaces>more text


    I want to use the splt command so I can get to the "more text" part of the
line, but I do not know how many spaces there may be - it could vary. So, 

@line = split(/ /, $_); 
$line[1] = ...


	is not going to work. Sorry, not a regular expression expert..


    Anyone have any ideas?
