I appreciate the suggestions, but I'll respectfully decline. My '-c' and '-d' options work very differently from the '-k' and '-t' options in unix 'sort' (and I don't really want to implement the 'sort' style for these options), so I'd rather not confuse people by suggesting that they're the same thing. (Plus I have a few other utils for flat-table text data that use '-c' and/or '-d' the same way this script does.)
BTW, I checked out the App:: name space at the CPAN, and didn't find a lot of command line utils there. If I use the search term command line utility, I see more things that this script might group with, but they don't seem to be in a specific name space.
Oh well, having this up at PerlMonks (with a link on my home node) is good enough for me.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
