It seems to me that you have provided a sample of your input for the second process and a segment of code which was used to generate that from the first process.

Please provide a sample of your desired output from the second process.

Note: For the sample code you provided, instead of a bunch of substr calls, you could probably use a single call to unpack like:

    @parseDat = unpack("a3a6a9a2a3a2a3a3a1a2a6a39", $input);
