while ( <DATA> ) {
    printf "%20.7f\n", $_;
    #         ^ ^^
    #         | ||
    #         | |Floating point format
    #         | Number of decimal places
    #         Total length of field
    }

__DATA__
1000.000
10.0000000
100.0000000
10000.0000000


Output:
        1000.0000000
          10.0000000
         100.0000000
       10000.0000000
