Those are the fun projects in our fav scripting language :)

Not to be pedantic, but I rewrote the script to be both more perlish and more xhtml compliant. A lot of your variables are unneeded. The first part is html and css only, the last (very simple) loop incorporates all your fun

use strict;
use warnings;
