NAME
Data::Format::HTML - Format Perl data structures into simple HTML SYNOPSIS
use Data::Format::HTML; my $f = Data::Format::HTML->new; my %hash = (simple => 'hash'); # Of course it's very unlikely that you won't deal ever with this # kind of structure, but HTML is able to hand it all anyway :) my $struct = { foo => 'bar', 1 => 2, 'hello' => 'goodbye', array_ref => [qw/one two three/], nested_hash => \%hash, [qw/1 2/] => sub { die; }, even_more => { arr => { 1 => [2, 3, 4], this_is_insane => { a => { b => { c => { d => { e => 'z'}}}}} }, }, }; $struct->{'Data::Format::HTML handles it all'} = $f; print $f->format(); And that will output the following insane, but possible, for the sake of showing, HTML: In theory you can pass any kind of Perl data structure to "format" and you will get its data HTML-formatted.

o A LOT. ;) o Explain how CSS can prettify the tables (specification for everything) o Get CSS. o Better support for GLOB, CODE, REF and company. o Extend this documentation. SEE MORE
