If all you want to do is dump the contents of a SELECT statement to an HTML table, use the Power of the CGI module. Instead of this (from jeffa): 
# html-table style
print "<table>\n";
foreach my $row (@$res) {
   print "\t<tr>\n";
   print map { "\t\t<td>$_</td>\n" } @$row;
   print "\t</tr>\n";
}
print "</table>\n";

I would do this: 
use CGI qw(:standard *table);
use CGI::Pretty; # For pretty-printed HTML

print start_table;
print Tr(td($_)) foreach @$rows;
print end_table;

Yes, it's just that easy. Of course, the more general solution is using some sort of templating scheme, but in general this is a pretty sweet way of outputting dynamic table data on the fly.
