NAME
Term::FormatColumns - Format lists of data into columns across the
terminal's width
SYNOPSIS
use Term::FormatColumns qw( format_columns );
my @list = 0..1000;
print format_columns @list;
DESCRIPTION
This module will take a list and format it into columns that stretch
across the current terminal's width, much like the output of ls(1).
If the filehandle is not attached to a tty, will simply write one column
of output (again, like ls(1)).
FUNCTIONS
format_columns
my $string = format_columns @array;
Format the list of data for STDOUT. Returns a single string formatted
and ready for output.
format_columns_for_fh
my $string = format_columns_for_fh $fh, @array;
my $string = format_columns_for_fh STDOUT, @array;
Format the given data for the given filehandle. If the filehandle is
attached to a tty, will get the tty's width to determine how to format
the data.
format_columns_for_width
my $string = format_columns_for_width 78, @array;
Format the given data for the given width. This allows you to use this
module without being attached to a known/knowable terminal.
