I'm having trouble coming up with a sane way of splitting the contents of an array into multiple HTML table rows. I've got a couple of constants defined, NUM_CELLS => 12 and NUM_COL => 3. The array, of course, contains twelve elements. The problem I'm having is figuring out how to get those twelve elements split into four table rows. The relevant code that I have so far is something like this: 
use CGI qw/ *table *Tr /;
use constant NUM_CELLS => 12;
use constant NUM_COL   => 3;

sub fill_table {
    my @array = read_db;
    my @td;

    push @td, $cgi->start_Tr();
    foreach ( @array[ 0 .. NUM_COL - 1 ] ) {
        push @td, $cgi->td($_);
    }
    push @td, $cgi->end_Tr;
    return @td;
}

So, I'm getting the first three elements into the first row, but after that I'm stuck with coming up with a way to get the rest of the table filled out. I'd appreciate any ideas from fellow monks,
