I am trying to do some data cleaning in perl. My data looks like this thousand of lines that look like this. 
Line 1:programme US$30 million secured floating due 2010
Line 2:£1.15 bil 5.54%  A-1 Sr Secd nts due 03/31/2031
Line 3: EUR900 mil fltg rate Tranche A nts due 10/06/2005
line 4: CP prog  Rule 144A

[download]
etc....
I am trying to break the above sentence into

EUR900 mil in one column

mil fltg rate Tranche A nts in a second column

and

10/06/2005 in a third column.

Can you please advise me on how this can be done? Thank you very much
