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?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
