raj000:

This is one of those times where you might want to break out the format statement (see perldoc format for details):

#!/usr/bin/perl

format STDOUT_TOP=
Name                   DOB      Age
---------------------- ------   ---
.

format STDOUT=
@<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< @#####   @##
$name, $DOB, $age
.

while (<DATA>) {
    ($age, $DOB, $name) = split /,\s+/, $_;
    write;
}

__DATA__
30, 010190, Name11111
40, 020280, Name222
[download]

This gives me:

$ perl 930233.pl
Name                   DOB      Age
---------------------- ------   ---
Name11111               10190    30
Name222                 20280    40
                            0     0
[download]

(Which is why I should verify that I've parsed out enough fields, etc.) Anyway while some may dislike format, I find it useful for fixed-format file creation. You may also check out [doc://pack|pack if you don't care for format.

Update: If you view the docs, you'll see how to get the leading zero put back on the numbers, how to center your text, have long strings wrap to the next line, and other interesting features.
