note 2teez <p> [cpan://Perl6::Form] is a lot better than [doc://format]. The usage is a lot easier. <br> [loris] request can be done like so: <c> use warnings; use strict; use Perl6::Form; my %name_n_price_tag; print form "#\tName\tPrice", "#\t------ -------"; while (<DATA>) { chomp; my ( $name, $price ) = split /:\s/, $_, 2; $name_n_price_tag{$name} = $price; } print form "\t{|||||}\t{|||||}", $_, $name_n_price_tag{$_}, $/ for sort keys %name_n_price_tag; __DATA__ large: 90.12 small: 12.34 medium: 57.78 </c> <tt>Output:</tt><br> <c> # Name Price # ------ ------- large 90.12 medium 57.78 small 12.34 </c> <b>NOTE</b> however, I don't know how the OP gets it data. This is just a head up using the module [cpan://Perl6::Form]. <br> Hope this helps. </p> <!-- Node text goes above.
