    is still a great glue to help make those tools work together better for
    you.

    1) Visidata, <https://www.visidata.org>

    This is currently my favorite. It's terminal-based, written in Python,
    and has more features than any other tools currently written in Perl, by
    far. vd has support for many formats, including CSV, TSV, Excel, JSON,
    and SQLite. It makes it particularly easy to create summary for your
    table like histogram or sum/average/max/min/etc, or add new columns, or
    edit some cells. It also has visualization features like XY-plots.

    It has the concept of "sheets" like sheets in a spreadsheet workbook so
    anytime you filter rows/columns or create summary or do some other
    derivation from your data, you create a new sheet which you can edit,
    save, and destroy later as needed and go back to your original table. It
    even presents settings and metadata as sheets so you can edit them as a
    normal sheet.

    It has plugins, and I guess it should be simple enough to create a
    plugin so you can filter rows or add columns using Perl expression
    instead of the default Python, if needed.

    My CLI framework Perinci::CmdLine (Perinci::CmdLine::Lite, v1.918+) has
    support for Visidata. You can specify command-line option "--format=vd"
    to browse the output of your CLI program in Visidata.

Let me say first that the best tools are not Perl-based since sadly Perl is not
a favorite choice for writing tools these days. That said, Perl is still a great
glue to help make those tools work together better for you.
