Used when one file is dependent on many files to make sure that the target is younger than all its sources. Allows for an easy test of the form:
if (fileOutOfDate($target, $source1,$source2,$source3))
as in 'make' to decide whether the target needs to be updated from its sources.
Returns the first out of date source file to make debugging easier, or undef if no files are out of date.
Data::Table::Text - Write data in tabular text format
use Data::Table::Text; say STDERR formatTable([ [".", "aa", "bb", "cc"], [1, "A", "B", "C"], [2, "AA", "BB", "CC"], [3, "AAA", "BBB", "CCC"], [4, 1, 22, 333]]); # . aa bb cc # 1 1 A B C # 2 2 AA BB CC # 3 3 AAA BBB CCC # 4 4 1 22 333 say STDERR formatTable([ { aa => "A", bb => "B", cc => "C" }, { aa => "AA", bb => "BB", cc => "CC" }, { aa => "AAA", bb => "BBB", cc => "CCC" }, { aa => 1, bb => 22, cc => 333 }]); # aa bb cc # 1 A B C # 2 AA BB CC # 3 AAA BBB CCC # 4 1 22 333 say STDERR formatTable({ "" => ["aa", "bb", "cc"], "1" => ["A", "B", "C"], "22" => ["AA", "BB", "CC"], "333" => ["AAA", "BBB", "CCC"], "4444" => [1, 22, 333]}); # aa bb cc # 1 A B C # 22 AA BB CC # 333 AAA BBB CCC # 4444 1 22 333 say STDERR formatTable({ a => { aa => "A", bb => "B", cc => "C" }, aa => { aa => "AA", bb => "BB", cc => "CC" }, aaa => { aa => "AAA", bb => "BBB", cc => "CCC" }, aaaa => { aa => 1, bb => 22, cc => 333 }}); # aa bb cc # a A B C # aa AA BB CC # aaa AAA BBB CCC # aaaa 1 22 333 say STDERR formatTable(["a", "bb", "ccc", 4444]); # 0 a # 1 bb # 2 ccc # 3 4444 say STDERR formatTable({ aa => "A", bb => "B", cc => "C" }); # aa A # bb B # cc C
Prints an array or a hash or an array of arrays or an array of hashes or a hash of arrays or a hash of hashes in a tabular format that is easier to read than a raw data dump.
