A regex isn't the right tool for the job. Since the table has fixed width, use substr or unpack to extract the cells; perlpacktut has an example.

If the width of the columns isn't known in advance, use a regex to find the column width by considering the first line, and use unpack/substr for the rest of the table.

Update: some example code. Trimming of leading/trailing whitespaces left as an exercise to the reader 

use 5.010;
use strict;
use warnings;

my $head_line = <DATA>;

my @c_idx;
while ($head_line =~ /\S+/g) {
    push @c_idx, $-[0];
}

my $sep = <DATA>; # ignored;
while (<DATA>) {
    chomp;
    my @columns;
    for my $idx (0..$#c_idx) {
        if ($idx == $#c_idx) {
            push @columns, substr $_, $c_idx[$idx];
        }
        else {
            push @columns, substr $_, $c_idx[$idx], $c_idx[$idx+1] - $
+c_idx[$idx];
        }
    }
    use Data::Dumper;
    print Dumper \@columns;

}
