Did it occur to you that the data is invalid? The original regexen were designed to both gather and validate the data. If you just want to gather the data without validating it just replace every \w or \d or with '.' This will match happily at the expense of most of the validation.

my $date = qr/\d\d\.\d\d.\d\d\d\d/;
my $fee  = qr/\d\d\d\d\d\.\d\d| {8}/;
my $digit3 = qr/[\d ]{3}/; 
my $alpha3 = qr/[\w ]{3}/;
my $one  = qr/
    ^
    \d\d                           
    (\d{5})                        
    ($digit3)
    ($date)                        
    ($date)                        
    ($alpha3)
    ($alpha3)    
    ($alpha3)    
    (.)      
    (.)      
    ($alpha3)   
    (.)      
    (.)     
    (.)      
    (.)      
    (.)      
#    $   # the first line is an invalid length as well, it has trailin
+g spaces
