Hello Monks! I am new to Perl and I was wondering if anyone could lead me in the right direction for formatting output from a text::table. I've come to find text tables to be very user friendly when it comes to displaying and being able to copy and paste information in a specific format. However, I'm only familiar with viewing their output in text files or in terminal. When it comes to printing them to an HTML file I'm lost because they lose all their nice alignment. I like the way it organizes information like a table in HTML without the hassle of having jumbled text when copying to an editor. If someone could help me figure out how to export a text table to html or could direct me to an overall better way of doing things that would be fantastic. Thanks for reading this and I appreciate your response!

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
