The old-school solution is to use Perl formats. For your example, you could write: 
my @aoa = (
    [qw (GAL_up800.fasta  6  800  4.8)],
    [qw (hm01g.fasta  18  2008  36.144)],
    [qw (hm02r.fasta  9  1000  9)],
    [qw (train_muscle.fasta 7 50 0.35 )],
);

my $aref;   # Variable must be visible to the format

format STDOUT =
@<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<  @<<<<<< @<<<<<< @<<<<<<
@$aref
.

foreach $aref (@aoa) {
    write;
}

For a more contemporary solution, why not try Perl6::Form? It looks very nice from what I've seen.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
