It looks like you got what you were looking for, but in the future, for formatting text into tables you should check out
Perl6::Form. Here's a simple (recycled) example that would get you started:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Perl6::Form;
my @barcodes=qw/8129348 2354234 234234534 21342134 23453421/;
my @prices = qw/625.50 626.35 234.23 546.54 3245.45/;
my @quants = qw/2 2 34 4 6/;
my @values = qw/21345 345345 345345 3453 34534/;
my $total = 0;
foreach(@values){$total+=$_};
print form
' ============================================================',
'| Goods in Stock |',
'|===========================================================|',
'| Barcode | Price | Quantity | Value |',
'|-------------+---------------+-------------+---------------|',
'| {[[[[[[[[[} | {$]]]]]].[[[} | {]]]]]]]]]} | {$]]]]]]].[[[}|',
\@barcodes, \@prices, \@quants, \@values,
'|===========================================================|',
'| Total Value In Stock {$]]]]]]].[[[}|',
$total,
' =========================================================== ',
;
Produces:
===========================================================
| Goods in Stock |
|===========================================================|
| Barcode | Price | Quantity | Value |
|-------------+---------------+-------------+---------------|
| 8129348 | $625.5 | 2 | $21345.0 |
| 2354234 | $626.35 | 2 | $345345.0 |
| 234234534 | $234.23 | 34 | $345345.0 |
| 21342134 | $546.54 | 4 | $3453.0 |
| 23453421 | $3245.45 | 6 | $34534.0 |
|===========================================================|
| Total Value In Stock $750022.0 |
===========================================================

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).
