Play around with printf and sprintf, or split you data into columns and create html tables.
$ perl use strict; use warnings; my @arr = qw ( 397 1234565 129837 12387621 21365 1 123123 ); printf("%010d\n", $_) for @arr; print("-" x 10 . "\n"); printf("%+10d\n", $_) for @arr; print("-" x 10 . "\n"); printf("%10s\n", $_) for @arr; print("-" x 10 . "\n"); printf("%-10s\n", $_) for @arr; __END__ 0000000397 0001234565 0000129837 0012387621 0000021365 0000000001 0000123123 ---------- +397 +1234565 +129837 +12387621 +21365 +1 +123123 ---------- 397 1234565 129837 12387621 21365 1 123123 ---------- 397 1234565 129837 12387621 21365 1 123123
