Take input from a file and have each value separated by spaces be put into a variable

First time poster and my first time trying to script in Perl so be gentle with me.

What I need to do is read a log file that contains ip's and port numbers. The contents of the file are:

6056 255.255.255.255 6056 255.255.255.255 80
16056 255.255.255.255 160开发者_高级运维56 255.255.255.255 80
7056 255.255.255.255 7056 255.255.255.255 80
17056 255.255.255.255 17056 255.255.255.255 80

The file contains more entries like this.

The first value of every line needs to be extracted and added to a variable $LocalPort, the second value of every line assigned to $LicenseServer, third value $RemotePort, fourth value $ShServer, fifth value $ShServerport.

At the end of every loop values are will be inserted into $command variable and written to a file that can be run as a script to establish a vsh connection. I can read in the file just fine but I am unsure of how to extract each value and assign it to the appropriate value each time it goes threw the loop. I currently have this:

open (LOGFILE, $LogPath) || "Unable to open the log file or file does not exist $!";
while (@line =  <LOGFILE>)
{
    $LocalPort=$line[0]; 
    $LicenseServer=$line[1];
    $RemotePort=$line[2];
    $ShServer=$line[3];
    $ShServerpor=$line[4];

    print "$LocalPort\n";
    print "$LicenseServer\n"
    print "$RemotePort\n";
    print "ShServer\n";
    print "ShServerPort\n";
}

So far all I can get it to do is spit back the exact file as it reads it in. This is really my first attempt at scripting and I have no training other then what I can gather from lord Google. Any help is much appreciated.

@line = <LOGFILE> reads the entire file into @line. What you need is something like this:

while (<LOGFILE>) {
   ( $LocalPort, $LicenseServer,
       $RemotePort,$ShServer,$ShServerpor ) = split (/\s/, $_ );
}

use strict;
use warnings;

while(<>) {
    chomp;
    next if /^\s*$/; #skip empty lines
    my($local_port, $license_server, $remote_port, $sh_server, $sh_server_port) = split;
    print "$local_port\n";
    #....
}

use as

perl my_script.pl < file_with_data.txt

or

perl my_script.pl file_with_data.txt
