    That is your choice, in this case I'd suggest editing the root node to have everything in one place - but if you edit a node, please make sure to clearly mark your updates as such. See How do I change/delete my post? (I'd also suggest removing all those blank lines from the root node while you're at it.)

      I did it

    Just add to the end of your original post

      I did it

        You may find it helpful to add this line to your index.pl script while debugging. Remove it when all the errors have been fixed

        use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser';

        Using CGI

        package newindex; use strict; use CGI ':standard'; sub getTitle { return "workers"; } sub getContent { my $cgi = shift; my $hashref = { 'Adam' => 'Eve', 'Clyde' => 'Bonnie', }; my @rows; push @rows,th(['Column 1', 'Column 2',]); for (sort keys %$hashref){ push @rows,td([$_ , $hashref->{$_}]) } return table({ -border => 1 }, caption('My Table 1'), Tr({-align=>'center',-valign=>'top'}, \@rows ) ); } 1;

        Or better using Template

        package newindex; use strict; use Template; sub getTitle { return "workers"; } sub getContent { my $cgi = shift; my $hashref = { 'Adam' => 'Eve', 'Clyde' => 'Bonnie', }; my %data=(); $data{'header'} = ['Column 1','Column 2']; for (sort keys %$hashref){ push @{$data{'rows'}},{ key=>$_ , value=>$hashref->{$_} }; } my $TMPL = <<'EOT'; <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"> <tr> [% FOREACH col IN header %] <th>[% col %]</th> [% END %] </tr> [% FOREACH record IN rows %] <tr> <td>[% record.key %]</td> <td>[% record.value %]</td> </tr> [% END %] </table> EOT my $template = Template->new(); my $html; $template->process(\$TMPL, \%data, \$html) || die "Template process failed: ", $template->error(), "\n"; return $html; } 1;
        updated : added header
