If it contains alphanumeric with space like:

Code:
 
1^~^GH^~^23 Banergatta^~^Bangalore 560001^~^India^~^MISS B DAS^~^

If the data will be containing spaces, don't you think that you should also provide for spaces in the regexp?
Code:
if ($var =~ /^((?:[a-zA-Z0-9 ]+\^~\^){2})(.*)/) {
 $string1 = $1;
 $string2 = $2;
}
