These subroutines are used in test software. They are used to build simple inventory listings, tracebility listins and such for PODs. Thus, the purpose is not to load them with a lot of word processing features but to keep them bare bones with as little code as possible. Feature creep is prohibited. The last thing need is a blue screen for out of a 100,000 line option ridden, ten layer deep objectize, word processor in the test software. =head1 SUBROUTINES =head2 format_array_table $formated_table = format_array_table(\@array, \@width, \@header) The I method provides a formatted table suitable for inclusion in a POD. The I<\@array> variable references an array of array references. Each array reference in the top array is for a row array that contains the items in column order for the row. The I<\@width> variable references the width of each column in column order while the I<\@header> references the table column names in column order. =head2 format_hash_table $table = format_hash_table(\%hash, \@width, \@header) The I method provides a formatted table suitable for inclusion in a POD. The I<\%array> variable references a hash of references to either arrays or hashes. Each key is the first column of a row. An array referenced by the hash value contains the items in column order for the rest of the row. The keys of a hash referenced by the hash value is the items for the next column in the row. Any other hash value signals the end of the row. The I method always sort hash keys. The I<\@width> variable references the width of each column in column order while the I<\@header> references the table column names in column order. =head1 REQUIREMENTS Coming soon. =head1 DEMONSTRATION ~~~~~~ Demonstration overview ~~~~~ Perl code begins with the prompt => The selected results from executing the Perl Code follow on the next lines.

The C cover script for L automatically generated the C test script, C demo script, and C program module POD, from the C program module contents. The C cover script automatically ran the C demo script and inserted the results into the 'DEMONSTRATION' section above. The C program module is in the distribution file F. =head1 NOTES =head2 Author The holder of the copyright and maintainer is Esupport@SoftwareDiamonds.comE =head2 Copyright Notice Copyrighted (c) 2002 Software Diamonds All Rights Reserved =head2 Binding Requirement Notice Binding requirements are indexed with the pharse 'shall[dd]' where dd is an unique number for each header section.
