Just another way to do it using HTML::ElementTable. For CGI applications you will want to stick with the CGI approach noted above, for efficiency. This approach is nice for static generation and tweaking individual cells. Also note you might find HTML::Table of interest. 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use HTML::ElementTable;
use HTML::AsSubs;
use POSIX qw(ceil);

print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
print "<html><head><title>Build Table.pl</title></head>\n";
print "<body>\n";

$total_cells = 517;
$display_cells = $total_cells / 15;
$row_count = 10;
$col_count = ceil($display_cells / $row_count);

$table = HTML::ElementTable->new(maxrow => $row_count-1,
                                 maxcol => $col_count-1);
$table->attr('cellpadding' => 4);
$table->attr('border' => 1);
$table->blank_fill(1);

# counters
$row_inc = 1;
$col_label = 1;
$nav_count = 15;
$nav_inc = 15;

for my $r (0 .. $row_count-1) {
  for my $c (0 .. $col_count-1) {
    $table->cell($r,$c)->push_content(
      a({href => "mypage.html?nav=$nav_count"}, $col_label))
        if $nav_count < $total_cells;
    $col_label+=10;
    $nav_count+=150;
  }
   
  $row_inc++;
  $col_label = $row_inc;
  $nav_inc+=15;
  $nav_count = $nav_inc;
   
}

# Here you could tweak the cells of $table

print $table->as_HTML;


print "</body></html>\n";
