coding question

I am not very familiar with perl. Although, I do have shell scripting experience.
I thought this would be easier to do this in perl.

I have a file that doesn't have a field delimiter between the columns and I want to add a colon between each column. I can identify the columns by hard coding the range:
such as "col1 to col 10" "col11 to col24" etc...

I am stuck. Any advise would help. Thanks.
