It's lunch time, I'm bored. Something like this should work . 
#!perl.exe

use Modern::Perl; #or use strict;use warnings;
use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel;

my $input_fn = 'perlmonks.org.918502.txt'; # or the name of your file
my $output_fn = 'perlmonks.org.918502.xls'; # or the name of the xls f
+ile you want to produce

#open the input for reading
open my $input_fh, '<', $input_fn or die "Unable to open $input_fn: $1
+\n";

#open xls file for output
my $workbook = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new($output_fn);
die "Problems creating Excel file: $!\n" unless defined $workbook;

#create a worksheet with the name of the input file
my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet($input_fn);

#split the line, and write to the matching row in the spreadsheet
while (my $line = <$input_fh>) {
    $line =~ /(\d+).{5}(\d+.\d+)\s(\d+.\d+)\s(\d+.\d+)/;
    my @columns = ($2, $3, $4);
    $worksheet->write_row($1,0,\@columns);
}
