It depends on how exactly you print the second line. Do you want tab or 4/8 spaces ? If you can use that in the print function, for example :

This will print the data exactly in the way you have formatted it.
For more advanced tasks you can use perltidy.
HTH.
Update : Oh, I just saw the post was one week old, I hope it's not too late.
