The file has two spaces before the 10th of every month. That's more like
1/3 of the time than 1/2, but still.
It's safest just to split on ' ', the magical split.
@fields = split ' ', $string;
What that does is ignore leading and trailing whitespace, and the split on
one or more pieces of any whitespace.
