Here is a solution using 2 helpful modules. Date::Simple takes care of all the date arithmetic and Text::Table formats the output (automatically sizing the columns to fit the data).

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Date::Simple 'ymd';
use Text::Table;

#Set up an example hash of orders placed daily (for the month of July)
my %total_opd;
@total_opd{1..30} = (12..40, 1000);

# Use July 2007 for this example
my ($y, $m, $d) = (2007, 7, 1);

my @summary = [qw/Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Total/ ];
my ($row, $col) = 1;

for (my $date = ymd($y, $m, $d); $date->month == $m; $date++) {
    $col = $date->day_of_week; # weekdays are 0 - 6
    
    # if $total_opd{$date->day} not exists or is undefined this day, s
+et to 0
    $summary[$row][7] += $summary[$row][$col] = $total_opd{$date->day}
+ || 0;
     ++$row if $col==6;
}

my $num_weeks = @summary - 1;
my @head = (" ", map "Wk" . $_, 1..$num_weeks);

my @new = transpose(@summary);
my $tb = Text::Table->new( map {title => $_, align_title => 'right'}, 
+@head)->load(@new);
print $tb;




sub transpose {
    my (@summary, @new) = @_;
    for my $r (0..$#summary) {
        for my $c (0..$#{ $summary[$r]}) {
            $new[$c][$r] = $summary[$r][$c];
        } 
    }
    return @new;
}
__END__
