Hello Monks i have a problem in printing arrays ( containing elements) in fixed column width.
* i have one array containing header's or column names
* The next array containing multiple rows i.e. data
* i want to display in report format with each header with fixed width and corresponding data should come below header..
pls see below data to get an idea 
__DATA__
TABNAME   06100   01010   06000   00110A
# The above is header which is present in @header
!W31801!-->!919!-->!90200809!-->!840!-->!MO!
!W31801!-->!919!-->!902008!-->!74!-->!MO!
#The above are the data present in @data array 
# iam doing below ...
my $disp = sprintf("-%10s\n",join("\t",@header));
print $disp; # i printed header
foreach my $line (@data){
        my @arr = split(/-->/,$line);
        my $disp = sprintf("-%10s\n",join("\t",@arr));
        print $disp;
}
# From above iam cant achieve what i need, the resultant data is out o
+f format...
# All i need is , no matter whats the size of data or header, i want t
+o print each column with width of 10 characters .
__DATA__
-TABNAME        06100   01010   06000   00110A
-!W31801!       !919!   !90200809!        !840!   !MO!
-!W31801!       !919!   !902008!        !74!   !MO!
# As you can see output , headers are not alighned properly, i need he
+aders and corresponding data to be left alighned and in same column..
