DESCRIPTION
Simple eyecandy ASCII tables.

METHODS
Text::SimpleTable implements the following methods.

  "new"
    my $t = Text::SimpleTable->new(5, 10);
    my $t = Text::SimpleTable->new([5, 'Col1', 10, 'Col2']);

  "draw"
    my $ascii = $t->draw;

  "hr"
    $t = $t->hr;

  "row"
    $t = $t->row('col1 data', 'col2 data');

  "boxes"
    $t = $t->boxes;

"boxes" switches the output generated by "draw" to use the unicode box drawing characters. The last example above may not render nicely on some devices.
