I have an array "@row = $sth->fetchrow_array" that comes from a database query:

$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:$database:$db_server", $user, $password);

$statement = "SELECT city FROM speedtrap WHERE $FORM{state}";

$sth = $dbh->prepare($statement) or die "Couldn't prepare the query: $sth->errstr";

$rv = $sth->execute or die "Couldn't execute query: $dbh->errstr";

$rc = $sth->finish;
$rc = $dbh->disconnect;

So my @row array should have a list of cities that exist for a specific state that can be unlimited in length. I want to print these cities in a HTML table that has four columns: 

<TR>
                                    <TD width="25%">
<DIV align=center><FONT 
color=#2f2cff>Wheaton</FONT><BR></DIV></TD>
                                    <TD width="25%">
<DIV align=center><FONT 
color=#2f2cff>Chicago</FONT><BR></DIV></TD>
                                    <TD width="25%">
<DIV align=center><FONT 
color=#2f2cff>Gurnee</FONT><BR></DIV></TD>
                                    <TD width="25%">
<DIV align=center><FONT 
color=#2f2cff>Lisle</FONT><BR></FONT></DIV></TD>
                                </TR>

Obviously the city names in the HTML above should be automatically generated from the array and not statically printed.

How can I make a PERL loop that prints my table automatically?

Thanks,
Adam
