Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,

Can anyone suggest any way of drawing a normal table in PERL. I am not asking about the Database Table, just a normal table as in word?

Thanks

    I don't think Word tables are "normal." If you are looking for plain text tables, this might do it for you Text::SimpleTable. Otherwise search around for RTF/PDF and Perl.

    If you don't like Your Mother's idea, you can also use the format function (see perldoc -f format and perldoc perlform for details.) It's a pretty handy way to make text reports.
