This software is a Perl extension that can format data that is stored in arrays, hashes, and scalars into strings.
To use this extension, simply use the SYNOPSIS code and provide a file handle, which is an argument to the constructor. If no file handle is specified, the output is sent to STDOUT. You can then use the out() method to output the formatted data.
For instance, you can input a list of food items, like Pizza, Pumpkin pie, and Sweet-n-sour Pork, and the module will output them in a bulleted list format. You can also input a list of instructions on how to eat an orange, and the module will output the instructions in a numbered list format.
If you don't need to output to a file, you can use the format() class method instead. This method takes in the data and returns a formatted string. For example, you can input phone numbers and the module will output them in a definition list format.
Overall, Data::Formatter::Text is a great tool for converting Perl data structures into formatted text that is easy to read and understand for humans. It simplifies the process of presenting complex data in a clear and concise format, making it ideal for software developers who need to display data effectively.
