Text::UnicodeTable::Simple create character table.
There are some module for creating text table at CPAN, Text::ASCIITable, Text::SimpleTable, Text::Table etc. But those module deal with only ASCII, don't deal with full width characters. If you use them with full width characters, a table created may be bad-looking.
Text::UnicodeTable::Simple resolves problem of full width characters. So you can use Japansese Hiragana, Katakana, Korean Hangeul, Chinese Kanji characters. See eg/ directory for Japanese examples.
