Print a table as text or HTML

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

Hi.

I'm looking for some module which can print a table in different output formats such as plain text or HTML.

As the data comes from a database, I've looked into DBIx::Simple (->html and ->text), but it doesn't really fit the bill. For some queries I do manual filtering of the result, which can't be done AFAICS.

Any suggestions on other modules which might do help me here?

I'm using Text::Table today for plain text output.

Data::Tabulate with its plugins Data::Tabulate::Plugin::ASCIITable and Data::Tabulate::Plugin::HTMLTable seem a good bet. CountZero A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James My blog: Imperial Deltronics	[reply]
