Hi All,

First of all I would like to thank all for you for your efforts and time.

I have formed a hash and I am trying to for a table from the hash

contents.

which i am able to do, but I am not able to align the text in

the columns

to center. They are aligned to left which is the default.

My code

$analysis_table = Text::Table->new(\'| ',"VIEW_NAME",\' | ',"UNCERTAIN
+ITY_TYPE\n TNS | WNS ",\' | ');

foreach my $key(keys %analysis_hash){
        my $temp = "$analysis_hash{$key}->{'uncertainity_type'} | $ana
+lysis_hash{$key}->{'uncertainity_type'}" ;
        $analysis_table->add($key,$temp)  ;
        }
my $rule = $analysis_table->rule(qw/- +/) ;
my @body = $analysis_table->body;
print $rule, $analysis_table->title, $rule;
for (@body) {
#  align('center',$_);
  print $_ . $rule ; 
}

My Output

+-----------+-------------------+

|VIEW_NAME |UNCERTAINITY_TYPE |

+-----------+-------------------+

|view1 |0.1 | 0.2 |

+-----------+-------------------+

|view2 |0.3 | 0.4 |

+-----------+-------------------+

Desired output

+-----------+-------------------+

| VIEW_NAME | UNCERTAINITY_TYPE |

+-----------+-------------------+

| view1 | 0.1 | 0.2 |

+-----------+-------------------+

| view2 | 0.3 | 0.4 |

+-----------+-------------------+

every thing aligned to center. I tried using Text::Aligner but to no success.

Please help.
