Problems with tabulations

[Luca Francesca]

Hello.
I've a program to extract some data from a file. ( http://pastebin.com/f3M6LuQw ).
The output of the program is not nice as i want (I used \t but isn't working well)

Any idea about a fix??

Thanks an good day all.

Pretty poor code.. but to answer your question.. modify the outout
produced by 'print' as needed.. e.g. use printf instead of relying on
tab.

e.g. this line:

print "Service \t $service \n";

might produce nicer output as

printf "%-15s %s\n", 'Service', $service;

For other options and to explain what the '-' does, see:
perldoc -f sprintf

Nice fix.
Thanks.

If you're producing formatted ASCII output, you might consider using

formats.

(Or Perl6::Form, which is nicer and saner, and not really Perl-6-related

at all.)

I'll give it a shot
