Hi Achim, Once I changed it: (defvar org-babel-perl-wrapper-method "{ my @r = eval( q( %s )); open my $BO, qq(>%s) or die qq( Perl: Could not open output file.$\\ ); print $BO join($/, @r), $/ ; }") the result now has \n in between fields (literally): #+name: t_output_table #+begin_src perl :results table print "Test\n"; (1, 2) #+end_src #+RESULTS: t_output_table | 1\n2\n | what is the expected field separator for Org-babel?
