ihperlbeg has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

My input data file looks something like this (only sample shown)

#id1 1 90 2 80 3 70 #id2 1 70 2 40 2 40 3 20 4 5 #id3 0 0 0 0 0 0

I am trying to output this input in the following format:

id1 id2 id3 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 90 70 2 80 40 2 40 3 70 20 4 5

I tried using hashes, but didn't seem to work as the first column has duplicates. Any help how I can accomplish this. Thanks!
