Hi, im quite new to perl and im very keen to learn because im picking it up quite quickly! im just writing to ask if this is the best code for what i want to do. i need to display a table of some output, like so: 
Range   10-20   20-30   30-40
Count     0       2       1
Percent   0       67      33

there's a bit more to it but it wont fit horizontally across the screen. so anyway, here's my code. it accesses a hash of hashes: 
$range1=1;
$range2=10;
$range3=1;
$range4=10;
$person_count=0;
print("Range\t10-20\t20-30\t30-40\n");
print("Count");
for ($counter=0;$counter<2;$counter++)
{
    $range3=$range3+10;
    $range4=$range4+10;
    print("\t  ".personCount($range3,$range4));
}
print("\n");


print("Percent\t");
for ($counter=0;$counter<2;$counter++)
{
    $range1=$range1+10;
    $range2=$range2+10;
    printf("  %.0f\t",(percent($range1,$range2)));
}
print("\n");
