I would suggest substring, either in SQL (SUBSTRING(field FROM start FOR char-count)), or, having got the data into Perl, Perl's substr function (substr expr, offset, length). To get the data from the database into Perl, the best way is probably DBI (which I've not used much so I won't try to put an example together, but look back at this lists archives and you should find plenty of examples).
