Just for fun, a solution using PDL:

use strict;
use warnings;
use PDL;
use PDL::Char;

my $str = "0 X X X X X X X X 1 X X X X X X X X 2 X X X X X X X X 3 X X
+ X X X X X X 4 X X X X X X X X 5 X X X X X X X X 6 X X X X X X X X 7"
+;
print pp_matrix( str2matrix($str, 8, 8) );

sub str2matrix {
    # my ($str, $x, $y) = @_;
    PDL::Char->new( shift )
             ->mslice([0,-1,2])
             ->reshape(1, shift, shift);
}

sub pp_matrix {
    # my ($matrix) = @_;
    shift ->reshape(-1)
          ->append( PDL::Char->new("\n") )
          ->flat
          ->atstr(0);
}

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.
