Well, drop the TT, HTML::Template, etc. requirement and you have DBIx::XHTML_Table ... but as nice as that module is, you can really back yourself into a corner with it if you are not careful. I recommend using HTML::Template for this, maybe Dynamic HTML::Template Database Template will be helpful to you.
