Dear Monks, I am trying to format a table in html. I have a list of column names (20) and then a list of values. The values are listed in order of the column names but there may be more than one set of values. I am trying to format them so they look like this: 
my @column_names = ('col1', 'col2','col3');
my @values  = ('val1','val2','val3','val4','val5','val6');

------------
# output: 
col1   val1   val4
col2   val2   val5
col3   val3   val6

Please can anyone help? 
my $c2 = @column_names;

for (my $i=0; $i<@column_names;$i++)    {
        print qq(<tr><td>$column_names[$i]</td>);
}
                                                                      
+                                                                     
+                   
for (my $i=0; $i<@values; $i+=$c2)  {
        print "<td>$values[$i]</td>\n";
}
print qq(<tr>);
