Re: Format, empty vars, and fixed-width records

in reply to Format, empty vars, and fixed-width records

I would probably use Parse::FixedLength for this...at least for the debugging phase...but I'm biased (since I'm the author). You could just use pack (with "A" for the format types) though.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm going to research your proposed solutions. I did see your module when doing a CPAN search, but the naming didn't make it obvious that it could create fixed-length strings as well as read them. I have a related suggestion for your module. Please consider creating a new parameter to `new` called "justify" to ease the creation of records where every field must be right-justified. --- It's all fine and dandy until someone has to look at the code.
