perl-Data-ShowTable

The ShowTable module provides subroutines to display tabular data,
typially from a database, in nicely formatted columns, in several formats.
Its arguments can either be given in a fixed order, or, as a single,
anonymous hash-array.
The output format for any one invocation can be one of four possible
styles:

Box
A tabular format, with the column titles and the entire table surrounded
by a "box" of "'+'", "'-'", and "'|'" characters. See the "ShowBoxTable"
manpage for details.

Table
A simple tabular format, with columns automatically aligned, with column
titles. See the "ShowSimpleTable" manpage.

List
A list style, where columns of data are listed as a name:value
pair, one pair per line, with rows being one or more column values,
separated by an empty line. See the "ShowListTable" manpage.

HTML
The data is output as an HTML TABLE, suitable for display through a
Web-client. See the "ShowHTMLTable" manpage. Input can either be plain
ASCII text, or text with embedded HTML elements, depending upon an
argument or global parameter.


The subroutines which perform these displays are listed below.
