'fraid I don't understand what you mean by "perl" format.
You can get format in the style above by executing
\pset border 2
in psql.
(SQL*Plus fans should issue
\pset border 0
and recompile psql without readline support to simulate
an Oracle environment ;-)
Place this setting in your .psqlrc file to make it permanent.
