# The devel/p5-Fortran-Format port

## p5-Fortran-Format-0.90p1 – read/write data according to a standard Fortran 77 FORMAT

## Description

    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.
