Add p5-Text-ANSITable
Text::ANSITable is yet another text table formatter module like Text::ASCIITable or Text::SimpleTable, with the following differences: - Colors and color themes: ANSI color codes will be used by default (even 256 and 24bit colors), but will degrade to lower color depth and black/white according to terminal support. - Box-drawing characters: Box-drawing characters will be used by default, but will degrade to using normal ASCII characters if terminal does not support them. - Unicode and wide character support: Border styles using Unicode characters (double lines, bold/heavy lines, brick style, etc). Columns containing wide characters stay aligned. (Note: support for wide characters requires Text::ANSI::WideUtil which is currently set as an optional prereq, so you'll need to install it explicitly or set your CPAN client to install 'recommends' prereq). Compared to Text::ASCIITable, it uses lower_case method/attr names instead of CamelCase, and it uses arrayref for columns and add_row. When specifying border styles, the order of characters are slightly different. More fine-grained options to customize appearance. WWW: https://metacpan.org/release/Text-ANSITable
