What does your code look like now? We need to see how you are getting the incorrect output to tell you how to correct it. See How do I post a question effectively?.

Assuming your code looks similar to what you posted in Perl Script to count files and directories is not working., the easiest solution for you would be to not put new-lines in your print statements (\n). So for example, line 28 in that OP might change from

print "Directories: $directory_count\n";

to

print "Directories: $directory_count | ";

Of course, you could do this a large number of different ways. You could also presumably alter the way you "read that file into the database tables". TIMTOWTDI.
