This is my first report in Perl... I want to report some files as they are parsed from a file... Does anyone have any sample code that I can use.. Its just a report like

Header datetime

. . . . .

Footer

Re: Perl Report Example [In reply to] Can't Post
This is one of the many easy things in perl. Just draw up some format lines, initialise your variables for each line to be printed and call write; (assumeing you print to STDOUT; you can of course always open a file and write tot that handle)

Your formats (for STDOUT) could look like these:

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial,Helvetica,sans serif">code:</font><HR>



format STDOUT_TOP =

Whatever header text you may desire

@&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;&#0124; &#0124;
scalar localtime()

Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Item 4 Item 5 Item 6
---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------

.

format STDOUT =
@<<<<<<<<< @<<<<<<<<< @<<<<<<<<< @<<<<<<<<< @<<<<<<<<< @<<<<<<<<<
$1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6
.


</pre><HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Have a look at the perlform manpage

I hope this helps.
