My code appears to do fine for the first 3 cols of data, but the 4th and 5th cols are sometimes right-aligned which my code can not handle
Based on the sample data you've given, have you considered using multiple methods to process the line? If you can reliably determine where the 3rd column starts, then you can get columns 3 through 6 with a split on \s+.
Of course, this won't work if you have empty cells in your data, or if any of the cells in columns 3-6 have spaces in them.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
