devel/p5-Fortran-Format 0.90p1 OpenBSD

This is a Perl implementation of the Fortran 77 formatted input/output facility. One possible use is for producing input files for old Fortran programs, making sure that their column-oriented records are rigorously correct. Fortran formats may also have some advantages over C<printf> in some cases: it is very easy to output an array, reusing the format as needed; and the syntax for repeated columns is more concise. Unlike C<printf>, for good or ill, Fortran-formatted fields never exceed their desired width.
