Re: Printing a 2D array into constant-sized columns

There are builtins like sprintf and printf .

Do they not bring the solution to your task?

If they don't, the keywords to look for on CPAN would be "Format" or "Formatter", I think. Or did I misunderstand your task?

Thank a lot! Using the keyword "format" I found Text::Column which does exactly what I need. I didn't know that printf could deal with arrays, that's good to know! I will learn how to use these at some point, but it feels like learning a new language, so I keep on delaying. Problem solved :-)	[reply]
