in thread Can I pad a number with leading spaces rather than leading 0's

Please clarify what you mean by "seems to forget." You seem to be saying that the spaces don't appear. Hmmmm ... just a thought ... are you using this to print to a web page, i.e., in HTML? You know, extra spaces don't appear in HTML unless you surround them with pre tags or similar formatting mechanisms.

    Thanx to everyone who responded, you guys nailed it! It was an html problem not a perl problem.

    I am now hanging my head in shame and getting several lashes with a wet noodle.
