neversaint,

A quick example to get you started based on the sample data you have given:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Text::Table; my $tb = Text::Table->new( \'| ', { title => 'Planet', align => 'center', align_title => 'center' }, \" | ", { title => 'Radius', align => 'center', align_title => 'center' }, \" | ", { title => 'Density', align => 'center', align_title => 'center' }, \' |', ); $tb->warnings('on'); $tb->load( [ "Mercury", 2360, "3.7" ], [ "Jupiter", 71030, "1.3" ], ); print $tb->title(); print $tb->rule('-','|'); print $tb->body(0); print $tb->body(1); print $tb->body_rule('-','-');
Which produces:
| Planet | Radius | Density | |---------|--------|---------| | Mercury | 2360 | 3.7 | | Jupiter | 71030 | 1.3 | ------------------------------
Hope this helps,

Martin
