We've already shown you how to split these lines into fields. If you have problems with that, ask about that and post the code you've written so far. Please don't simply ask us to do your (presumably) for-pay work for you.

Here's a snippet of the solution I wrote:

   s/^(\d\d)//;
   my $record_type = $1;

...

      s/^(\d+{5})//;
      $key = $1;

...

      my @fields = /^
         (\d\d\.\d\d\.\d\d\d\d)   # start date
         (\d\d\.\d\d\.\d\d\d\d)   # end date
         (.{3})                   # category
         (.{3})                   # group
...
      /x;

...
