<DIV>After taking all of your suggestions into consideration, I did some poking around CPAN, and found a module called Text-FormatTable-1.00 that renders simple tables as text. This was pretty much what I was looking for. Here's the link for anyone who may be interested:<BR></DIV>

<DIV>Hopefully someone will find it of some use...</DIV>
