Assuming the piece you want to replace is the 2nd token in the line then you can do something like:
s/^(\S+)(\s+)(\S+)(.*)/${1}${2}B22222${4}/;
This reads like:
(NOT WHITESPACE)(WHITESPACE)(NOT WHITESPACE)(EVERYTHING)
That collects the first 3 pieces into variables $1-$3 then the remainder of the line into $4, then reassemblies the line with the pieces and the replacement.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
