Here is something I just came up with, it isnt formatted the way you wanted but I think it will work: 
use strict;
#use warnings; turned off for redundant printf warning

my @MeasurementType = sort qw(MeasurementA MeasurementB MeasurementC M
+easurementB MeasurementB);
my @MeasurementValue = sort qw(1A 3A 3A 2A 5A);
my @MeasurementTry= sort qw(1 1 1 2 3);
my @MeasurementTime= sort qw(DateA DateB DateC DateD DateE);

my $size = @MeasurementTry - 1;

print ("MeasurementType |   MeasurementValue    | MeasurementTry | Mea
+surementTime\n");
print ("----------------|-----------------------|----------------|----
+------------\n");

for ( my $i = 0 ; $i <= $size ; $i++ ) {
printf ("%-22s %-15s %-9s %-0s\n",
        ("$MeasurementType[$i]\t|", "$MeasurementValue[$i]     \t|", 
        "$MeasurementTry[$i]\t |", "$MeasurementTime[$i]"));
}

Im not really clear on a few things like value "1A" or "3A" go with type "MeasuemantA" ect ?

Outputs:

MeasurementType |   MeasurementValue    | MeasurementTry | Measurement
+Time
----------------|-----------------------|----------------|------------
+----
MeasurementA    |         1A            |       1        |      DateA
MeasurementB    |         2A            |       1        |      DateB
MeasurementB    |         3A            |       1        |      DateC
MeasurementB    |         3A            |       2        |      DateD
MeasurementC    |         5A            |       3        |      DateE

EDIT: Updated code with some kind of formatting.
