I would think that the following simple program would have
the expected output that follows.

########  test.pl script follows:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

format STDOUT =
Label:  ^<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
        $data
~~      ^<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
        $data
.

$data = sprintf("1\n2\n3\n4\n5\n6\n");
write;
########  end of script

########  test.pl expected output follows:
Label:  1
        2
        3
        4
        5
        6
########  end of output

However, the actual output is follows.

########  test.pl actual output follows:
Label:  1 2 3 4 5 6
########  end of output

values.  However, the output following the Label: line is
not indented.

Could somebody in the know please point out the errors of
my ways, or at least point me to somebody that knows.

Thanks in advance.
