( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
not reproducible on my system.

please check if that code produces that output:

lanx@nc10-ubuntu:~$ perl my @systems=qw(SERVER1 SERVER2 SERVER3); foreach my $system (@systems) { print "Now powering on $system:"; print "\t\t[DONE]\n"; } __END__ Now powering on SERVER1: [DONE] Now powering on SERVER2: [DONE] Now powering on SERVER3: [DONE] lanx@nc10-ubuntu:~$

Otherwise try to isolate the bug, eg dump \@systems and check special vars.

Cheers Rolf

UPDATE:

If you click on the download link of my code you will see that my example has real tabs where yours has a list of blanks. Your not posting the real output.

UPDATE:

do your servernames really have the same length?

lanx@nc10-ubuntu:~$ perl my @systems=qw(SRV1 SERVER2 SERVER3); foreach my $system (@systems) { print "Now powering on $system:"; print "\t\t[DONE]\n"; } __END__ Now powering on SRV1: [DONE] Now powering on SERVER2: [DONE] Now powering on SERVER3: [DONE]

if not better try using printf or formats

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



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
