Ah so that's why I couldn't get it to work!!!

I was trying to solve this yesterday, and was completely bamboozled why
even the $^A and formline implementation didn't work (although I might
have been doing something wrong). Anyway, the solution I came up with was
just sprintf:

##.## becomes %2.2f
.## becomes %4.2f

Pad all strings with (" " x 80) before using, and set their length with:

%.25s for a max 25 char string.

Or prefix the string with (" " x 80) for right-justifying.

Works like a charm.

eew... Oraperl is way outdated, and basically unsuppored by the community.
Time to move to straight DBI/DBD...

do you have the same problem when moving to print()?  I haven't seen any
code on the list that calls write(), but mod_perl/apache does some tricky
things with tie()ing STDOUT (which is way above me)...

Strange mod_perl output problem - Followup

[Hughes, Ralph]

OK,
After further investigation, it seems that Oraperl/DBI/DBD, etc. are not at
fault!
I'm formatting the data for display using Perl formats and displaying it as
pre-formatted output using  tags.  
This works great for CGI, but mod_perl seems to be having trouble with the
write() calls to dump the data.  Again, there are no errors, but no output
either.
Anyone have any experience with this??
