That reminds me; I forgot to include an evil method for alternating row colors: 

my @colors = ( '#dddddd', '#eeeeee' );
$html .= $q->table(
    { -bgcolor => '#ffffff',
      -border  => 1 },    
    $q->caption('Status Summary'),  
                 
    # beware beautiful nested maps ahead    
    map { my $k = $_;
          $q->Tr( { -bgcolor => 
                      (push @colors, shift @colors) && $colors[0] },
              $q->td( $k ),                              
              map { $q->td( $data->{$k}{$_} eq 'bad' 
                      ? { -bgcolor => '#ff0000' } 
                      : { -bgcolor => '#ffffff' },
                    $data->{$k}{$_} ) 
                  } sort keys %{ $data->{$k} }
              ) 
         } sort keys %{ $data }
);

There is no particularly good reason to do this. After this, it's just for fun. :)
