Data::Tabular - Handy Table Manipulation and rendering Object
use Data::Tabular; $table = Data::Tabular->new( headers => ['one', 'two'], data => [ ['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd'] ], extra_headers => [ 'three' ], extra => { 'three' => sub { my $self = shift; my $a = $self->get('one'); my $b = $self->get('two'); $a . $b; }, }, group_by => { }, output => { headers => [ 'three', 'one', 'two' ], }, );
Data::Tabular has four major sections:
The data section. This is the base table, it contains a set of rows that is made up of named columns.
The extra section. This is a set of named columns that are added to the table.
The group_by section. This is allows titles, and subtotals to be inserted into table.
The output section. This allows the output to be formatted and rendered for a particular type of output. Currently HTML and Excel spreadsheets are supported.
Of these only the data section is required.
The Data section consists of two pieces of information a list of headers names and a 2 dimensional array of data.

Get the output object.
The data method returns a Data::Table object.
The extra method returns a Data::Table::Extra object.
The grouped method returns a Data::Table::Grouped object.
The headers method returns the available headers in the Data::Table::Extra object. This is the headers from both the data section and the extra section. These are the headers that can be in the output section.

my $st = $dbh->prepare('Select * from my_test_table'); my $data = selectall_arrayref($st); my $headers = $st->{NAMES} my $table = Data::Tabular->new( data => $data, headers => $headers, );
