Here is a small program that shows how to align the data. You should be able to run it.

Please follow 2teez's advise and look at the link he provided to see how to format the code/data in your post. (You can edit your post after you first post it).

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Text::Table; my $tb = Text::Table->new( \'| ', { title => 'Planet', align => 'center', align_title => 'center' }, \" | ", { title => 'Radius', align => 'center', align_title => 'center' }, \" | ", { title => 'Density', align => 'center', align_title => 'center' }, \' |', ); $tb->warnings('on'); $tb->load( [ "Mercury", 2360, "3.7" ], [ "Jupiter", 71030, "1.3" ], ); print $tb->title(); print $tb->rule('-','|'); print $tb->body(0); print $tb->body(1); print $tb->body_rule('-','-'); __END__ Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp. C:\perlp\Text_Table>perl try.pl | Planet | Radius | Density | |---------|--------|---------| | Mercury | 2360 | 3.7 | | Jupiter | 71030 | 1.3 | ------------------------------ C:\perlp\Text_Table>

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
