replace hard return followed by a tab

I have a list of entries in a table which is available as a tab-
separated text. In the first column there is either a string or
nothing, in the second column there is a string.

It looks like this:

Category [Tab] Architecture [Hard return]
[Tab] Technology [Hard return]
[Tab] Medicine [Hard return)

What I want to achieve is:

Category [Tab] Architexture; Technology; Medicine [Hard return]


Here my code:

@entry = <DATA>;
foreach $entry (@entry) {

chomp $entry;
$entry=~ s/(\r|\n){1,}\t/; /mg;
print "$entry\n" ;

}

I have tried different modifiers and more simple replacements like s/\n
\t/; /g;, but to no avail.

Any suggestion?
.
