You can achieve this Perl using the following code
Code:
opendir DIR,"." or die "Can't open dir : $!\n";
while (my $files=readdir(DIR))
{

if ($files=~/^\./) #this is for avoiding the . and .. default files
{
    next;
}
print "$count) $files\t";
if ( $count % 3 == 0 )
{
    print "\n";
}
$count++;
}

The above code will list all the files in the current directory.
It will display 3 files per line.

The sample output I got is as follows

Code:
1) xac  2) dir.pl       3) func.sh
4) xad  5) sc.sh        6) xae
7) xab  8) test.sh      9) split.sh
10) xaa
