[MacPerl] Columns

[Nico.Rozendaal@NP.UNIMAAS.NL]

Hallo,

I have a (text) file with the following format:

123420010110010010101  (and so on this way => )
234531111101100101010
678940000010010111010
340151010101110101010
and so on...

Now let's say the first four characters are a PIN number,
the following two characters the subject's age, and so on.
How can I read such a file split in (fixed) columns ?
I would like to insert tabs at the end of each field, creating
a tab-delimited text file.


Thanks for your help, and a happy new year !
