NAME Data::Tabular - Handy Table Manipulation and rendering Object SYNOPSIS 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' ], }, ); DESCRIPTION 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. Data Section The Data section consists of two pieces of information a list of headers names and a 2 dimensional array of data.
