Text::Table is definitely the way to go ... but you still have to split up your one dimensional array into two in order to use it. I recently posted some code that does such (emulate Python's range function). Putting the two together yields: 
use strict;
use warnings;
use Text::Table;
use Data::Dumper;

my $step  = shift || 5;
my $tb    = Text::Table->new(map "head$_", 1..$step);
my @array = qw(
   adsm-02   besy-02  c006603  c007581    c008433    c009684  
   asterix   c003097  c006664  c007653    c008433-1  c009853  
   avo00106  c003701  c006790  c007760    c008434    c009992  
   avo01000  c003706  c006792  c007761    c008436    c009993
);
my @two_d = map[ @array[$_..$_+$step-1] ], range(0,$#array,$step);

$tb->load(@two_d);
print $tb;

sub range {grep!(($_-$_[0])%($_[2]||1)),$_[0]..$_[1]}

Hope this helps. :)
