You have read a text file containing whitespace separated columns of numbers.

I do? Really? What a surprise. Is it a gift for me?

fellow monk, there are better ways to ask homework questions. First step in my opinion is to try and solve the problem yourself. If it works, you've accomplished something truly great. If it crashes, burns and dies in the flames then you'll accomplish even greater things by posting a well titled and formatted question to Seekers of Perl Wisdom so that others in a similar predicament as yours can learn by it.

At least, in my honest opinion, is how Perl Monks is supposed to work.

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.
