'=' is assignment, '==' is test for numerical equality. Change the above
line to:
    if( length($string) == 34 ) { $var1 = $string . ':' }

> if(length($string) > 34) {
>   $string =~ s/\s//g;

The above line deletes all of the spaces in $string. Is that what you want
to do?

>   ($var1, $var2) = $string =~ /(.){35}(.){26}/;

You should put your repeat specifiers inside the capture parentheses:

   ($var1, $var2) = ($string =~ /(.{35})(.{26})/);
