I believe they are orthogonal to my module.
Besides which I would not encourage the proliferation of file formats which are by design not extensible or self-documenting. See the note in the documentation that I provided about exactly that. Fixed width file formats are not exactly on my hit parade of great ideas to encourage.
An incidental question. Even if I did want to use fixed width file formats, what is your value add over the better-known pack and unpack plus Perl's native support for formats? Perl started life dealing with lots of ASCII reports and has quite a few now little-used facilities for doing just that.
