use CGI;
print a( {-href=>"dummy" }, \@list );

this produces an anchor for each element of @list, but how do I get the value of each list element substututed at "dummy"?

I tried $_ and $list. The former produces no errors and no ouput. The latter (with -w and strict in force) gives: 

Global symbol "$list" requires explicit package name at ...

I am also fairly sure that by using [] judiciously in the next line: 

print table( Tr( td( a( {-href=>"dummy"}, \@list ) ) ) ) );

[download]

I should be able to produce a table, with a single column of anchors (ie. TABLE TR TD A.../A /TD /TR repeat /TABLE ) but my attempts at forcing A to provide a list context to td() and td() to provide a list to Tr() have got nowhere?

Thanks for any pointers.

Meta-discusion: It would be a useful feature if along with the PM approved html markup, a small table of the appropriate substitutions for entities that should be used, like []etc. was also there .... it took me a while to realise why these weren't showing up in my preview.
