Split Problem

 I'm having a problem splitting a variable and need some help. What I have is 
some variables with a name, and then information in parens. A couple examples:

 $data = "David (man from uncle)";

 $data = "John Doe (The boy down the hall)";

  What I want to do is split $data into two string variables, one holding the 
$name, and the other holding all the $info that is within the parens. How 
would I do this? Thanks for any help.
