ACME::MODULES ENTRIES
-
This is a common frontend for many text table modules as backends. The interface is dead simple, following Text::Table::Tiny. The main drawback is that it currently does not allow passing (some, any) options to each backend.
-
The main feature of this module is the various border style it provides drawn using Unicode box-drawing characters. It allows per-row style. The rendering speed is particularly slow compared to other modules.
-
Two main features of this module is per-column aligning and wide character support. This module, aside from doing its rendering, can also be told to pass rendering to HTML, CSV, or other text table module like Text::UnicodeBox::Table); so in this way it is similar to Text::Table::Any.
-
This 2013 project was my take in creating a text table module that can handle color, multiline text, wide characters. I also threw in various formatting options, e.g. per-column/row/cell align/valign/pad/vpad, conditional formatting, and so on. I even added a couple of features I never used: hiding rows and specifying columns to display which can be in different order from the original specified columns or can contain the same original columns multiple times. I think this module offers the most formatting options on CPAN.
In early 2021, I needed colspan/rowspan and I implemented this in a new module: Text::Table::Span (later renamed to Text::Table::More). I plan to add this feature too to Text::ANSITable, but in the meantime I'm also adding more formatting options which I need to Text::Table::More.
-
A module I wrote in early 2021. Main distinguishing feature is support for rowspan/colspan. I plan to add more features to this module on an as-needed basic. This module is now preferred than Text::ANSITable, although currently it does not nearly as many formatting options as Text::ANSITable.
