Array::Columnize - arrange list data in columns.
use Array::Columnize;
print columnize($array_ref, $optional_hash_or_hash_ref), "\n";
In showing long lists, sometimes one would prefer to see the values arranged and aligned in columns. Some examples include listing methods of an object, listing debugger commands, or showing a numeric array with data aligned.
print columnize(['a','b','c','d'], {displaywidth=>4}), "\n";
produces:
a c
b d
