I recommend using a templating engine for this one - my fav being HTML::Template for it's simple API. If you really want to take the canned HTML table route, may i suggest my DBIx::XHTML_Table over HTML::Table? :D I have also posted code here that shows how to create editable, 'spreadsheet' style HTML tables with it at Spreadsheet CGI.

But like i said first - use a templating system. It has proven itself to me to be the most flexible so far ... check out HTML::Template Tutorial for a simple intro to that module.
