I write many CLI scripts in PHP to clean up DB records, etc via crontab

Perl has some neat tools built in to format tabular data:

Does PHP have any tools like this?

The PEAR class Console_Table will do this for you.

I'd prefer not to pull in some PEAR
package or other bloat

PEAR does not automatically mean bloat. It does however automatically mean less work for you.
