Ah, from the way youve put things its not entirely clear what your problem is. It kinda seems like you want to output in columns, but the format you have displayed is not in columns. In fact the output you show in the other reply is pretty much exactly what I expected from your code so I suspect your understanding of formats is a little shaky. Have a look at perlform and then rethink.

BTW, a good chunk of the code you have posted is not relevent to question. Try to reduce your problems down to their essential. Not only becuase its easier for people to explain a clear simple example, but also because many times by doing the reduction you find the answer anyway. Anyway, have read of perlform and if you stil can't get it to work as you expect come back with a more refined question. May I also suggest a look at sprintf?
