in reply to CLI formatting

An example for using perls builtin format (see http://perldoc.perl.org/perlform.html for details):

my ($name, $type, $len, $null, $pri, $inc);

format STDOUT_TOP =                                   
Name ---------------- Type ------ Len--- Null Pri- Inc- 
.                                                     
                                                      
format STDOUT =                                       
@<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<| @<<<<<<<<<| @>>>>| @>>| @>>| @>>| 
$name, $type, $len, $null, $pri, $inc                 
.

for (@structure) {
   ($name, $type, $len, $null, $pri, $inc) = (
         $_->{f_name},
         $_->{f_type},
         $_->{f_length},
         $_->{f_nullable},
         $_->{f_pri_key},
         $_->{f_autoinc},
      );
      write (STDOUT);
}

It's easy to use, and it does all you want, so why do you search another module?
