No code example?  I can only assume you want:

while (<>) {
    printf "%.5d: %s", $., $_;
}

or maybe:

while (<>) {
    printf "%5s: %s", $., $_;
}

or even:

perl -n -e 'printf"%.5d: %s",$.,$_'

Clear description of your requirements is
important, since our ESP ability (mine in
particular) is quite lacking.

Take care,

Jonathan Paton
