I have a list of files/directories. I want to display this list in an HTML table having 'n' columns and an arbitrary number of rows. My script will either determine 'n' on it's own or have it passed in as a parameter, but my trouble lies with using the Table object in CGI.pm. I have mastered the part where I turn my list of files into an array (@fil_tbl) of anonymous arrays each of length 'n'. Here's the code I have been trying to make work with the Table object (actually this is the function-based method ... don't flog me): 
print table ({width => 200},
   (map {
      $my @t = @$_;
      Tr ({bgcolor => "#dddddd"},
          foreach $fil (@t) {
             td ("$fil") }) } @fil_tbl ));

I'm getting a syntax error around the foreach statment. I am not sure if I need to enclose the foreach in (), in {}, make it a subroutine call instead, or perhaps I'm not on the right track at all.
