You were close Ted but there are a couple problems.
1. $_ = s/$1/$1\t/g; should be $_ =~ s/$1/$1\t/g; (you left out the ~)
2. $1 isn't defined anywhere in this code since there are no paren's in the
first REGEX.
Try this (similar to what Artemave posted);
while (<FILEFROM>) {
chomp;
$_ =~ s/(\d\s[A-Z]{3}\s)/$1\t/;
print FILETO $_;
}
