Does anyone know of a D (or actually, C or C++ as well) equivalent to
Perl's "format" support for report and table generation? I know there are an
infinite number of ways to get printf and/or << to do similar things but
Perl does just what I want.

I'm looking for something like
  FancyPerlFormattingOutputStream s = ...
  s.header = r"Blah           Result";

  loop over data and
   s.write(str);
   s.write(num);

thanks,

Have you considered using Perl's C API in your D program?

If not, feed these to your favorite command line interpreter:
man perl
man perlembed
