use the modulus operator -- % isn't just for hashes.
for (1..100) {
print "$_ ";
print "\n" if ($_ % 5 ==0); # add a break (or other string) every
+5 elements
}
There are other ways to do it, but that's the most perl, I think.
Other ways?
@foo = map {$_*5} (1..10); # generate a list by fives.
print join " ", @foo,"\n\n"; # see the fives.
print "<table>"; # replace with calls to CGI.pm as appropriate.
for my $ctr (0..$#foo) {
print " <tr>\n ";
print " <td>$_</td>" for (($ctr*5)+1 .. $foo[$ctr]);
print "\n </tr>\n";
}
print "</table>\n\n";
