Something like:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my @data = map {[("") x 8]} 1 .. 5;

$data[$_][0] = "host" . ($_ + 1) for 0 .. 4;
$data[$_][3] = 'C' for 0, 1, 3;

for my $row (@data) {
    @{$row}[4, 6] = ('N', 'G') if !length($row->[3]);
    print join('|', @$row), "\n";
}

Prints:

host1|||C||||
host2|||C||||
host3||||N||G|
host4|||C||||
host5||||N||G|

Perl is the programming world's equivalent of English
