Perl....

http://dev.perl.org/perl6/exegesis/E07.html

Yes, that page is about perl 6, but the examples in there
show how it works in perl 5 too.

<example>
   our ($name, $age, $ID, $comments); 
   
   format STDOUT
    =================================== 
   | NAME     |    AGE     | ID NUMBER |
   |----------+------------+-----------|
   | @<<<<<<< | @||||||||| | @>>>>>>>> |
      $name,     $age,        $ID,
   |===================================|
   | COMMENTS                          |
   |-----------------------------------|
   | ^<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< |~~
    $comments,
    ===================================
   .

   write STDOUT;
</example>
