Description: Perl routines to display tabular data
DescDetail: <<
ShowTable.pm, version 3.3, is a Perl 5 module which defines subroutines
to print arrays of data in a nicely formatted listing, using one of
four possible formats: simple table, boxed table, list style, and
HTML-formatting (for World-Wide-Web output).  See the documentation on
ShowTable.pm for details on the formatting.

The program "showtable" reads data in a variety of formats from a file
or STDIN, optimally columnizes the data, and then feeds the array of
data to the ShowTable module for display.  Showtable can parse its own
output as input (except for HTML).  Individual or ranges of columns may
be selected for display, either by name or by index.

In other words, showtable is a data formatting program.  Using the
'-html' option, showtable can accept ASCII tablular data and format it
appropriately for display through a Web-browser.

DescPort: <<
I had to patch ShowTable.pm because I got:
*** ERROR: unterminated I<...> at line 724 in file ShowTable.pm
The showtable script had /usr/bin/perl5 as interpreter which does not exist.
