in thread printf syntac

List::MoreUtils has a couple of functions that do what you want - pairwise and each_array
use List::MoreUtils qw/pairwise each_array/; my @totalexpenses = qw/ ONE TWO THREE/; my @totalcosts = 1 .. 3; print "pairwise\n\n"; $a = $b = 0; # avoid "used only once" warnings print pairwise { sprintf "%10s %10s\n", $a, $b } @totalexpenses, @tota +lcosts; #or pairwise { printf "%10s %10s\n", $a, $b } @totalexpenses, @totalco +sts; print "\neach_array\n\n"; my $iter = each_array @totalexpenses, @totalcosts; while ( my ( $costs, $exp ) = $iter->() ) { printf "%10s %10s\n", $costs, $exp; }

Output:

pairwise ONE 1 TWO 2 THREE 3 each_array ONE 1 TWO 2 THREE 3

update: added pairwise in void context alternative
