Hi all, Below is my code to read a text file from a specified location and then create a tabular representation of that data. But after running the script it is giving report with a line difference between every column. 
#!/usr/lib/perl
use DBI;
use strict;
use Text::Table;

my ($dir,@files,$file,$output_file,$line,%hash);
$dir="D:/ckj/dummy";
chomp($dir);
$output_file="D:/ckj/dummy/rep.txt";
opendir(DIR,"$dir") or die $!;
@files=readdir(DIR)  or die $!;  
close DIR;
my $tb = Text::Table->new("NAME\n-------------------------", "Age\n---
+----------------------", "Department\n-------------------------");
open(FH1,">$output_file")  or die $!;  
foreach $file (@files){
    open(FH, "<$dir/$file") or die $! if($file=~/\.txt$/);
    while($line=<FH>){
        %hash=();
         while($line=~/employee name is/g){
             my @name = split(" ",$');
             $hash{"Name"}=$name[1];
         }
         while($line=~/Age/g){
             my @age = split(" ",$');
             $hash{"Age"}=$age[1];
         }
         while($line=~/Department/g){
             my @dept = split(" ",$');
             $hash{"Dept"}=$dept[1];
         }
         $tb->load([$hash{"Name"},$hash{"Age"},$hash{"Dept"}]);
    }
    close FH;
}
print FH1 $tb;
close FH1;
print "Congratulations, report file has been saved as $output_file";
