NAME
HTML::Table - Create HTML tables using simple interface
INSTALL
In order to install and use this package you will need Perl version
5.002 or better. Installation as usual:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
IMPORTANT V2.00 BETA TEST VERSION
This version is a beta test of the new v2.xx strand of
development, and introduces a new internal representation of
the table data and attributes. Please test thoroughly before
installing in a production environment.
DESCRIPTION
HTML::Table is used to generate HTML tables for
CGI scripts. By using the methods provided fairly
complex tables can be created, manipulated, then printed
from Perl scripts. The module also greatly simplifies
creating tables within tables from Perl. It is possible
to create an entire table using the methods provided and
never use an HTML tag.
HTML::Table also allows for creating dynamically sized
tables via its addRow and addCol methods. These methods
automatically resize the table if passed more cell values
than will fit in the current table grid.
Methods are provided for nearly all valid table, row, and
cell tags specified for HTML 3.0.
HISTORY
This module was originally created in 1997 by Stacy Lacy and whose last
version was uploaded to CPAN in 1998. The module was adopted in July 2000
by Anthony Peacock in order to distribute a revised version. This adoption
took place without Stacy Lacy's explicit consent as it proved impossible
to contact them at the time. Although explicit consent was not obtained at
the time, there was some evidence that Stacy Lacy was looking for somebody
to adopt the module in 1998.
