Text::Table::Any

Author: PERLANCAR

This is a 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.

Text::SimpleTable

Author: MRAMBERG

As its name implies, a simple table-generating module with minimal documentation and a few choices or border characters. You have to set the width of all columns manually.

Text::UnicodeBox::Table

Author: EWATERS

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.

Text::Table::Manifold

Author: RSAVAGE

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.

Text::ANSITable

Author: PERLANCAR

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.

Text::ASCIITable

Author: LUNATIC

Text::FormatTable

Author: TREY

Text::MarkdownTable

Author: VOJ

Text::Table

Author: SHLOMIF

Text::Table::Tiny

Author: NEILB

The simple and tiny table-generating module which I liked back in 2012 (v0.03). It employs an sprintf() trick to generate a single row. This module started my personal experiments creating other table-generating modules (at last count I've created no fewer than 15 of them!).

Text::Table::TinyBorderStyle

Author: PERLANCAR

Text::Table::More

Author: PERLANCAR

A module I wrote in early 2021. Main distinguishing feature is support for rowspan/clospan. I plan to add more features to this module on an as-needed basic. This module is now preferred to Text::ANSITable, although currently it does not offer nearly as many formatting options as Text::ANSITable.

Text::Table::Sprintf

Author: PERLANCAR

A performant (see benchmark result) and lightweight (a page of code, no use of modules at all), but with minimal extra features.

Text::Table::TinyColor

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
