Use ActiveState::Table to do this. You can find some sample code and screenshots how it looks like here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/funzone/games/solutions08/experlsol08.mspx (Scroll down until you see the screenshot with the tables, and then look at the code snippet directly above it).
