That would depend on your data source:

• If it's a database, you could add some delimiters during the query
• If it's a fixed-format flat file, you could take field lengths into account (substr, unpack)
• If there are a fixed number of fields in the row, you could put all the "extras" in the name field
• Perhaps you could take advantage of the fact that one of the fields matches /ID\d+/

That's generally the problem with "squishy" data. Sometimes you have to look it over and get clever....
