in reply to How to iterate by fives?

This is one of those exceptions that proves the rule. This is one of the few cases when I think that the C-style for(;;) has much going for it relative to the (many) other possible approaches.

#! perl -slw use strict; use CGI qw[:standard *table]; my @data = 1 .. 103; print start_table( {-border=>1} ); for( my $i = 0; $i < $#data; $i += 5 ) { print Tr( td( [ map{ defined $_ ? textfield( { -name=>$_, -default=>$_ } ) : '&nbsp;' } @data[$i .. $i+4] ] ) ); } print end_table;

Examine what is said, not who speaks.

The 7th Rule of perl club is -- pearl clubs are easily damaged. Use a diamond club instead.
