    ["row2A", "row2B", "row2C"],
    ["row3A", "row3B", "row3C"],
  ];
my $t = Text::ANSITable->new;

$t->columns($rows->[0]);
$t->add_row($rows->[$_]) for 1 .. $#{ $rows };
print $t->draw;

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla plugin and/or Pod::Weaver::Plugin. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
