I don't know how to put a table into a pod. One can simulate it by using

Am I missing something?
You can subclass Pod::Simple to produce a formatter capable of parsing
all normal pod, plus tables. For a good example of this, see
Pod::PseudoPod. The table formatting it uses is demonstrated in:

(Or, perhaps this implementation of tables will be enough for your
purposes, and you won't need your own subclass.)
