DESCRIPTION

       Simple eyecandy ASCII tables.

METHODS

       Text::SimpleTable implements the following methods.

   "new"
           my $t = Text::SimpleTable->new(5, 10);
           my $t = Text::SimpleTable->new([5, 'Col1', 10, 'Col2']);

   "draw"
           my $ascii = $t->draw;

   "hr"
           $t = $t->hr;

   "row"
           $t = $t->row('col1 data', 'col2 data');

   "boxes"
           $t = $t->boxes;

       "boxes" switches the output generated by "draw" to use the unicode box drawing characters.
       The last example above may not render nicely on some devices.
