Converting string to array?

Hello,

I am trying to write a perl script to parse a string into an array. The
string has the fields separated by tabs. So what I want to do is read each
field into a variable so I can process the data further.

what I have is something like this;

open($rpt, $file);
while (<rpt>)
{
$line = $_;

#now what I want is something like
$field_1 = $line[0];
$field_2 = $line[1];
# of course this doesn't work so How do I do it?

}

An example string in the file might be like this.

995253 \t 1234 \t "address" \t "Name"


Thanks in advance for the help,
Sam
