Right now I can't get to search.cpan.org. It seems to have dropped off
the face of the planet at present. I can't get there from UVic or my
home machine.

Looking just at the module listings and the README files, I'm not sure
Text::TabularDisplay will do *quite* what I want. Text::FormatTable
doesn't really have any info in the README that would pull me in to use
it.

I'll keep looking and play with the code Peter provided as well.
