I'd suggest you to use Embperl for including Perl code into HTML page. It's very useful, simple in use and power tool. This is just example how to build HTML table and fill it data from database: 

[-   
   $dbh = DBI->connect($DSN);      
   $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM blash ");     
   $sth->execute;    
   $head = $sth->{NAME};     
   $data = $sth->fetchall_arrayref;
 -]
 
<table>
    <tr>
        <th>[+ $head->[$col] +]</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>[+ $data->[$row][$col] +]</td>
    </tr>
</table>

For more detailes, please see Embperl documentation

Hope it helped!

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
