Ta for that OeufMayo I've used formats for reports but they become very unwieldy with complicated wide reports with multiple variable blocks and sub totals etc.
I think Data::Reporter::RepFormat is a reasonable choice, but - if only it worked :-)
the following the following code falls in a heap 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Data::Reporter::RepFormat;

my $sheet = new Data::Reporter::RepFormat(124,10)
    or die "Wouldn't let me";

$sheet->Move(120,0);
$sheet->Print('TEST');
$sheet->MVPrint(0,1,'Next line at start');
$sheet->Move(0,2);
print "Report has ", $sheet->Nlines()," lines\n";
$sheet->Out();

Falls over in a horrible heap with 
Report has 3 lines
Can't locate object method "Out" via package "RepFormatPtr"
at /home/jonathan/Reportformat.test line 12.

From my reading of the pod I'd expect the above to work and print the report to STDOUT. Doh!
