Hello perl monks.

I had written a script to show this 

my $Hash = {
    "A" => ["HYU"],
    "B" => ["TU6"],
    "C" => [ "11", "09", "88", "2" ],
    "D" => [ "01", "11" ]
};

display as thus: 
A,    B,    C,    D
HYU    TU6    11    01    
              09    11    
              88        
              2

Of course, the script works, however, I 'feel' the code is not optimized enough. I had profiled the script using Devel::NYTProf to see what i could change, but yet nothing IMHO.

Please, could 'borrow' my your pair of eyes, and see if there are things that could be change.

Below is my script. 
use warnings;
use strict;

my $Hash = {
    "A" => ["HYU"],
    "B" => ["TU6"],
    "C" => [ "11", "09", "88", "2" ],
    "D" => [ "01", "11" ]
};

# get headiing
print join( ",\t" => sort keys %$Hash ), $/;

# get the value with the highest numbers of element
my $highest_item = 0;

foreach ( keys %{$Hash} ) {
    my $value = scalar @{ $Hash->{$_} };
    $highest_item = $value if $highest_item < $value;
}

# re-write the data given as AoA, with data needed
my @final_data;

foreach my $key ( sort keys %{$Hash} ) {

    push @final_data =>
      [ map { $Hash->{$key}[$_] || qq[] } 0 .. ( $highest_item - 1 ) ]
+;
}

# print out in expected output
foreach my $pos ( 0 .. $#final_data ) {
    foreach ( 0 .. $highest_item - 1 ) {
        print $final_data[$_][$pos], "\t";
    }
    print $/;
}
