I don't see anywhere in your spec where these extra zeroes are required or even desired!
Please be very specific about the requirements.
I recommend something like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my @array = qw(
-- 0.0175 0.0483 0.0507
-- 0.0471 0.0483
-- 0.0287
--);
my @twod_array;
my $i_col = -1;
my $i_row;
foreach my $ele (@array)
{
if ($ele eq '--')
{
$i_col++; #new column starts
$i_row = $i_col;
next;
}
$twod_array[$i_row++][$i_col] = $ele;
}
foreach my $row_ref (@twod_array)
{
print join ("\t",@$row_ref),"\n";
}
__END__
