Here is an example from Jeffrey Friedl's, "Mastering Regular Expressions":

Have you seen any of the Perl documentation sections that deals with
regular expressions? This one, for instance, for a quick overview:
http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.8.4/pod/perlrequick.
Jeff,

Have you considered just using split()?
my @fields = split;
# or
my ($name, $x, $y, $z, $whatever) = split;

Better yet, use Regexp::Common:
