Okay, let me take another shot at it: you want a format:
while (<>) {
my ($number_var, $test, $centered_var) = split;
write;
}
# 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
#234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
format STDOUT =
@########## @<<<<< @||||||||||||
$number_var $test $centered_var
.
Take a look at "perldoc -f write" and "perldoc -f perlform".
