Text::Padding provides a simple way to align a text on the left, right or center. If left & right are easy to achieve (see sprintf()), i found no cpan module that achieved a simple text centering. Well, of course, Perl6::Form provides it, but it's incredibly slow during startup / destroy time. And Text::Reform was segfaulting during destroy time. Hence this module, which aims to provide only those 3 methods. WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Text-Padding/
