Peal it # 2. Split it # 3. Eat it # # If you don't need to output to a file, you can also use the format() class method # instead of the out() instance method. my $nums = Data::Formatter::Text->format( 'Phone numbers' => { Pat => '123-4567', Joe => '999-9999', Xenu => '000-0000', }); # Stores in $nums: # # Phone numbers # Joe: 999-9999 # Pat: 123-4567 # Xenu: 000-0000 #A module that converts Perl data structures into formatted text, much like Data::Dumper, except for that it formats the data nicely for presentation to a human.
