Aside from the modules and the compact solutions,
I'll try a non-obfuscated solution first ;-) This will
work on any 'text-matrix' as far as it's rectangular ...

my $inp='
1 2 3
4 5 6
a b c
x y z
';
my @data;

 my @elem = grep length, split /\s+/, $inp;
 my $rows = () = $inp =~/(?<=^)\w/msg;
 my $cols = @elem / $rows;
 for my $col (0..$cols-1) {
    push @data, [ map $elem[$col + $cols*$_], 0..$rows-1 ]   
 }

 # print the matrix
 print "@$_\n" for @data;

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 or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
