This is a perfect job for unpack. The following test code should prove helpful:
use strict;
while (<DATA>) {
chomp;
my @array = unpack("A12A16A11A*", $_); # @array has 4 elements now
print map("'$_'\n", @array);
}
__DATA__

"One word of warning: if you meet a bunch of Perl programmers on the bus or something, don't look them in the eye. They've been known to try to convert the young into Perl monks." - Frank Willison
