Hi Monks i have 2 arrays @totalexpenses = "ONE" , "TWO" , "THREE"; and @totalcosts = "1" , "2" , "3"; by executing the following code i do not get the result i wish to have in WRITEFILE filehandler. gives me: 
 
ONE
TWO
THREE
1
2
3

but what i want to look like is :
ONE 1
TWO 2
THREE 3

do i need another loop or a hash to form the data ? 
open  WRITEFILE , ">>$time.txt" or die "write error\n";
my $format = " %10s\n" x @totalexpenses . "%10s\n" x @totalcosts;
printf WRITEFILE  $format, @totalexpenses , @totalcosts;
close WRITEFILE; 
}
