Template::Plugin::Table

If you're looking for a Perl module to help you present data in a table format, then Template::Plugin::Table is definitely worth considering. With this tool, you can easily create tables by specifying the number of rows and columns you need. You can even control how much overlap there is between cells and adjust the padding to ensure that your data is presented exactly the way you want.

One of the key features of Template::Plugin::Table is its simple yet powerful syntax. To create a table, simply use the "USE table" command and specify the relevant parameters. For example, if you wanted to create a table with three rows and four columns, you might use the following syntax:

USE table(list, rows=3, cols=4, overlap=0, pad=0)

Once you've defined your table, you can easily access individual cells or entire rows/columns using the "row" and "col" commands. For example, if you wanted to print the contents of the first row, you could do so using the following code:

FOREACH item IN table.row(1)
[item]
END

Similarly, if you wanted to print the first column, you could use the following code:

FOREACH item IN table.col(1)
[item]
END

Of course, the real power of Template::Plugin::Table comes from its ability to display entire tables. You can do this using simple FOREACH loops to iterate over each row and column. For example, the following code would print the entire contents of the table:

FOREACH row IN table.rows
FOREACH item IN row
[item]
END
END

FOREACH col IN table.cols
[col.first] - [col.last] ([col.size] entries)
END

Overall, Template::Plugin::Table is an excellent tool for anyone who needs to work with tables in Perl. It's easy to use, highly customizable, and makes presenting data in a table format a breeze. If you're looking for a reliable and convenient module to help you work with tables, then look no further than Template::Plugin::Table.
