Optional arguments can be given to control either the width or number of the columns, the total width of the output, and the amount of indentation. The module has embedded POD text with which man or HTML pages can be created. For detailed information, you can do: pod2man PrintArray.pm | nroff -man The module is accompanied with a Makefile, this README, a test program (test.pl), a reference test output file, and the GNU License, under which this software is freely available.
