Does anyone know of a D (or actually, C or C++ as well) equivalent to Perl's "format" support for report and table generation? I know there are an infinite number of ways to get printf and/or << to do similar things but Perl does just what I want.

I'm looking for something like
  FancyPerlFormattingOutputStream s = ...
  s.header = r"Blah           Result";
  s.format = r"@<<<<<      @##.###";
  loop over data and
   s.write(str);
   s.write(num);

thanks,
-Ben

Have you considered using Perl's C API in your D program?

If not, feed these to your favorite command line interpreter:
man perl
man perlembed
