DESCRIPTION

FUNCTIONS

format_fitwidth

This is basically a glorified sprintf() which will determine the width for you. There are some conveniences (some not yet implemented) e.g. handling decimal numbers, negative numbers, specifying maximum and minimum instead of getting from the arguments, etc.

Usage:

@formatted = format_fitwidth( [ \%opts, ] @numbers)

Options:

  • max

  • zero_prefix

    Boolean.

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.
