Clojure?

(defn pm-chunk [data chsize]
  (apply str
         (interleave (map #(apply str (interpose " " %))
                          (partition chsize chsize nil data))
                     (repeat \newline))))

Then use it at the REPL:

user=> (print (pm-chunk  ["a" "bb" "c" "d" "e" "f" "g" "h"] 3))
a bb c
d e f
g h

Please note that the rather ugly "apply str" at the top is necessary to fulfil the perlish requirements. Usually you'd stop at creating the right sequence, which is achieved after the call to interleave.

you begin bashing the string with a +42 regexp of confusion

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.
