I can't believe the last 4 answers were all wrong, yet all agreed with each other! Your second term contains a space, so forget split. Let's assume your second term may or may not contain a space (you don't specify - a larger data set than one line might help here!), and that you have the two octals (?) and two floats (but let's assume they may be integers) in the relevant places - it might look like something like this: 
$line =~ /(0x\d{7})       # octal
          \s+             # space of some kind
          (.*)            # anything (greedy)
          \s+             # space of some kind
          (0x\d{7})       # octal
          \s+             # space of some kind
          (\d+\.?\d?\.)   # float, followed by a period
          \s+             # space of some kind
          (\d+\.?\d?)     # float
          /x;             # allow these comments
    @array[0..4] = ($1,$2,$3,$4,$5);

1) yes, the float match is rough. 2) I haven't run this - I'm not on my box. I can't remember array slice assignment off hand.

But I'm sure you get the idea.
