What you're looking for is along these lines. In Perl, there are many alternatives to everything, but this is one approach that a newcomer such as yourself may be able to use as you learn.
my @rows = split /\n/, $input; foreach my $row (@rows) { print "<TR>\n"; my @columns = split / /, $row; foreach my $column (@columns) { print "<TD>$column</TD>\n"; } print "</TR>\n"; }
Now, personally, I think your table will turn out kind of odd... you're making three cells just for the date, and the "still logged in" will be lined up funny against the logout timespans. To fix this would best be served by parsing the rows with a regular expression instead of split, but this is a start.

Update: Added 'my' keywords to match your 'use strict'. Glad to see newcomers learning discipline.
