DESCRIPTION

69       Simple eyecandy ASCII tables.
70

METHODS

72       Text::SimpleTable implements the following methods.
73
74   "new"
75           my $t = Text::SimpleTable->new(5, 10);
76           my $t = Text::SimpleTable->new([5, 'Col1', 10, 'Col2']);
77
78   "draw"
79           my $ascii = $t->draw;
80
81   "hr"
82           $t = $t->hr;
83
84   "row"
85           $t = $t->row('col1 data', 'col2 data');
86
87   "boxes"
88           $t = $t->boxes;
89
90       "boxes" switches the output generated by "draw" to use the unicode box
91       drawing characters. The last example above may not render nicely on
92       some devices.
