There is a perl 6 specification for tables. See https://raw.github.com/perl6/specs/master/S26-documentation.pod and an implementation for Perl 5, at least for HTML: https://metacpan.org/module/Perl6::Pod However, the big question I don't know the answer to is if anyone has implemented code to output tables to man pages. man can do tables (very nicely), but I know approximately zero roff, so I don't know how easy it is (or isn't) Or how good plain text output for tables is.
