Sometimes split is just too much hassle:

#! perl -slw
use strict;
use Data::Dump qw[ pp ];

##  cds:Acc(space)strain/location/ID/year(space)date(space)segment.
my @recs = map[
    m[  >
        ( \S+   ) \s
        ( [^/]+ ) /
        ( [^/]+ ) /
        ( [^/]+ ) /
        ( \S+   ) \s
        ( \S+   ) \s
        ( \S+   )
    ]x
], <DATA>;

pp \@recs;

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
