Hi monks,

I would like to share the wisdom I gained.We come across situations when we need to generate a HTML table and stuff some data into it.If the table contains large number of rows we would use bi-(or)multi-color to make it easier to read and for some visual appeal. We can do it in a line of code 

@colors=("blue","green");
foreach $row(@rows)
{
            
            print "<TR BGCOLOR=".$colors[push(@colors,shift(@colors))-
+@colors].">".$row."</TR>";
}

This keeps on swapping the colors for each row and code too will look neat and simple.Any more simplification welcomed!!

Be inspired by Perl REGEX when you choose your spouse!!
