Unless there are commas in your fields, you could comma-delimit it and save is as a .csv (comma-seperated value) file.

    Even if there are commas in your data, you can save it as a CSV file. Use one of the CSV modules on CPAN to handle it right.

    And, if you don't think there are commas in your data, just wait. They tend to sneak in there on friday nights and the first days of vacation. :)
