[Pdx-pm] Regex

Regex is not my strong suit. I'm modifying a regex. The part of the line being matched looks like this:

Usage:524,944 of 1,000,000 messages

I need the two numbers. The old line was this:

Usage:524944/1000000 messages

Which I matched with the following code:

if ($info =~ m|Usage\:(\d+)/(\d+) messages|)

Further complicating matters is that the first number starts at 0, and counts up, so it won't always have a comma. I need to process the two numbers inside the if construct.
