Unfortunately, they suffer from several limitations. Formats are static and cannot be easily defined at run time. Also, formats depend on several obscure global variables. For more modern reporting tools, consider using one of the template frameworks like L<Template> or try the L<Perl6::Form> module. =head1 AUTHOR Jeffrey Ryan Thalhammer <thaljef@cpan.org> =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 2005-2006 Jeffrey Ryan Thalhammer.
