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?

 Achim> Regards,
 Achim> Achim.
