Problem with printing

Hi, i am writing a script to generate a summary report for my data text file
my data in my text file goes like this:
Code:
MacOS:Mary Abraham:53.48:88:38
Windows in lala:Mary Abraham:22.30:23:22
lala in Windows:John Goodman:33.60:121:12
Hello world:Mr Tian:23.30:23:10
Windows in 31 days:John Badman:33.70:212:13

and this is my code to print the data out
Code:
BEGIN{
 FS=":"
 print " " 
 print "===================================Summary Report================================================="
 print "=================================================================================================="
 print "|Title          | \tAuthor                   \t|Price \t|Qty Available|Qty Sold|Total|"
 print "=================================================================================================="
}
{
        title = $1
        author = $2
        price = $3
        available = $4
        sold = $5
        total = $3 * $5
 printf("%s\t                   %s\t$%s\t\t%s\t%s\t$%s\n", title, author, price, available, sold, total)
 
}
END{
 }

the output will be

I will like to know is there any ways I can change my code to make sure that the data in each column will align properly under the respectively title? Thank You

Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		    Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook(3pm)

NAME
Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook - A class for Workbooks. SYNOPSIS
See the documentation for Spreadsheet::ParseExcel. DESCRIPTION
This module is used in conjunction with Spreadsheet::ParseExcel. See the documentation for Spreadsheet::ParseExcel. Methods The following Workbook methods are available: $workbook->worksheets() $workbook->worksheet() $workbook->worksheet_count() $workbook->get_filename() $workbook->get_print_areas() $workbook->get_print_titles() $workbook->using_1904_date() worksheets() The "worksheets()" method returns an array of Worksheet objects. This was most commonly used to iterate over the worksheets in a workbook: for my $worksheet ( $workbook->worksheets() ) { ... } worksheet() The "worksheet()" method returns a single "Worksheet" object using either its name or index: $worksheet = $workbook->worksheet('Sheet1'); $worksheet = $workbook->worksheet(0); Returns "undef" if the sheet name or index doesn't exist. worksheet_count() The "worksheet_count()" method returns the number of Woksheet objects in the Workbook. my $worksheet_count = $workbook->worksheet_count(); get_filename() The "get_filename()" method returns the name of the Excel file of "undef" if the data was read from a filehandle rather than a file. my $filename = $workbook->get_filename(); get_print_areas() The "get_print_areas()" method returns an array ref of print areas. my $print_areas = $workbook->get_print_areas(); Each print area is as follows: [ $start_row, $start_col, $end_row, $end_col ] Returns undef if there are no print areas. get_print_titles() The "get_print_titles()" method returns an array ref of print title hash refs. my $print_titles = $workbook->get_print_titles(); Each print title array ref is as follows: { Row => [ $start_row, $end_row ], Column => [ $start_col, $end_col ], } Returns undef if there are no print titles. using_1904_date() The "using_1904_date()" method returns true if the Excel file is using the 1904 date epoch instead of the 1900 epoch. my $using_1904_date = $workbook->using_1904_date(); The Windows version of Excel generally uses the 1900 epoch while the Mac version of Excel generally uses the 1904 epoch. Returns 0 if the 1900 epoch is in use. AUTHOR
