Hi perl saviors! Im trying to print elements from two different arrays to my output file using \t. (i want the two arrays to look like tsv in my output file). but my second element automatically prints in the second line. Using chomp did not help. Please tell me if there is any other way i could use to print the data like tsv. 
for ($i=0;$i<(scalar(@np));$i++)
{
    if ($gap[$index]>=-200)
    {
        print OFILE "$coordinate[$index]\t$np[$index]\n";
    }
    else
    {
        print OFILE "End of block $index.\n";
        print OFILE "$coordinate[$index]\n";
        print OFILE "Start of block $index.\n";
    }
    
$index++;    
}
