I am new to perl, and have not found any good examples of parsing to
help me out. I have a text file that I am reading into an array that
has to be parsed out and put into another file. I have not found any
good examples of this. Does anyone know of any?

For example the text file looks like this...
900002 "Test,Test" 1/1/2004 F 21

with tabs inbetween each of the colums of the text file.
