A couple of things,

using <code> tags makes you code more legible without us having to inspect the source. You had to preview before creation, so how did you fail to notice that it was illegible
you can either roll your own parser using something like
```
open (INPUT, "<", "input.txt");
while (<INPUT>){
   chomp(my $record = $_);
   print join ",", (split /\t/, $record);
}

```
or use an existing module such as Text::CSV set sep_char to tab and let the module do the heavy lifting. This has several advantages over rolling your own in most instances, but given the data-set you should get away with the above capture style in this instance.

print "Good ",qw(night morning afternoon evening)[(localtime)[2]/6]," fellow monks."

Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!

Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.

Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.

Please read these before you post! —

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:

a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr

You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
