A couple of PMish things first.

• The formating of your node is not conducive to anyone wanting to read it. Try little things, like paragraphs!
• Make it clear what your question *really* is, what your goal is, etc.
• Show us your code so far, and inbetween <code> tags

Okay, having said that, HTML::Template is your new best friend. For starters, it will allow you to create HTML pages with placeholders for your data, separating the HTML from your Perl. It's nice to compartmentalize the two types of code. There is a nice HTML::Template community and a search of the Monastery, or even Google will turn up all sorts of help. E.g., jeffa's great tutorial.

When you have some code written, come on back here and give us a looksie, and maybe we can offer more effective help.

Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!

Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.

Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.

Please read these before you post! —
