in reply to Text::Table - horizontal lines and multiline cells

Hi Andreas,

Is it absolutely necessary to use Text::Table? I really like Perl6::Form for this kind of thing. Here is a quick (recycled) example:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Perl6::Form; my @barcodes=qw/8129348 2354234 234234534 21342134 23453421/; my @prices = qw/625.50 626.35 234.23 546.54 3245.45/; my @quants = qw/2 2 34 4 6/; my @values = qw/21345 345345 345345 3453 34534/; my $total = 0; foreach(@values){$total+=$_}; print form ' ============================================================', '| Goods in Stock |', '|===========================================================|', '| Barcode | Price | Quantity | Value |', '|-------------+---------------+-------------+---------------|', '| {[[[[[[[[[} | {$]]]]]].[[[} | {]]]]]]]]]} | {$]]]]]]].[[[}|', \@barcodes, \@prices, \@quants, \@values, '|===========================================================|', '| Total Value In Stock {$]]]]]]].[[[}|', $total, ' =========================================================== ', ;

Produces:

=========================================================== | Goods in Stock | |===========================================================| | Barcode | Price | Quantity | Value | |-------------+---------------+-------------+---------------| | 8129348 | $625.5 | 2 | $21345.0 | | 2354234 | $626.35 | 2 | $345345.0 | | 234234534 | $234.23 | 34 | $345345.0 | | 21342134 | $546.54 | 4 | $3453.0 | | 23453421 | $3245.45 | 6 | $34534.0 | |===========================================================| | Total Value In Stock $750022.0 | ===========================================================
