It is most certainly possible to render HTML using Perl. However, your question is a little vague to give you a full answer. Nonetheless, here is a generalized explanation of one method of doing so.

One method is using a simple CGI. You're web server will have to be able to interpret CGI scripts, however most can with simple configuration changes. For example, Apache for Windows and/or Linux will let you do so very simply.

Once configured, you can start your CGI script with very minimal code overhead. For example, the following will output 'Hello World!':
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "Hello World!<br/>\n"; exit;
Now, using data from any datasource, etc., you can generate your HTML table using a simple loop, dynamically adding rows as necessary.

Also, as a last note, you may also want to look into the CGI Perl Module on CPAN. There is a lot of functionality in this module that you will most likely take advantage of, particularly when beginning in Perl CGI scripts.

Good Luck!
