tobyink, headings are rows just like data and whead so modifying your example of usage ...

table(1, {
    id       => 't1',
    rows     => [
        headings => [qw/NAME STRENGTH COMMENT/],
        whead => [ # multiple rows with the first cell being a header.
            [1,   [2,   { style => 'text-align: right' }], 'no'],
            [2,   [3,   { style => 'text-align: right' }], 'yes'],
            [10,  [20,  { style => 'text-align: right' }], 'another'],
            [100, [200, { style => 'text-align: right' }], 'comment'],
        ],
        headings => [['List to go with the whead' { colspan => 3 }]],
        data  => [['list', { class => 'info', colspan => 3, list => [$
+list, { class => 'two_cols' }] }]],
    ],
});

I can understand why you would want to pass individual rows, however, you are not taking into consideration a table with hundreds or even thousands of rows. I have one table with over 2,000 rows, so I would prefer a way to pass them through with an arrayref. In my modified example, I put headings inside of rows. I can not have two headings currently and can not set the order in which the row groups are displayed.

Oh, line comes from another module, so if possible, is there a way to use it as is? I use line in every script I write where I am printing lines.

choroba suggested I build the @attributes separately, and I agree. I will be looking at what he did and see how I can modify it to my exact needs then adding it to the module.

Also, the last time I tried figuring out OO, I was told I did it all wrong. OO and I have not become friends yet. So, right now I do not know what to ask on how to change what you wrote to suit my desires. Give me a lot of time to understand what you wrote, please?

Update: It looks like you dropped the attributes from all the elements except table. Every HTML tag can have its own attributes. Since I am generating the HTML with perl, I could go really crazy and give every element its own id, but I will refrain.
