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.
