Hello monks! Hope you are doing well I am trying to read a file which has three columns and store the content in a hash. Now i want to store the first column data as keys and third column data as a values, here is the file 

GeneName    GeneType    Regulation
APOL4    protein_coding    up
CYP2C8    protein_coding    down
NAALADL2    protein_coding    NA
NANOS3    protein_coding    up
C20orf204    protein_coding    up
MIR429    miRNA    up
MIR200A    miRNA    down
MIR200B    miRNA    down
CFL1P4    processed_pseudogene    down

RPL19P20    processed_pseudogene    up
SREK1IP1P1    processed_pseudogene    down

here is my code which sets the second column as a value but i want to set the third column as a value in hash

open FILE1, "data.txt" or die;


my %hash;
while (my $line=<FILE1>) {

chomp $line;

(my $word1,my $word2) = split( /\s+/, $line);


$hash{$word1} = $word2;
}


@values = values(%hash);

print @values;

How can i split the second column out of the file?
