I suggest you look at HTML::Template. The philosophy of HTML::Template is that people who are good at HTML should do HTML, and people who are good at Perl should do Perl.

With HTML::Template, you can ask a friend or a proffesional to design the HTML part for you, and then simply fill in the missing values from Perl.

The template would look somewhat like this:

<table>
<tr><th>Remove</th><th>Artist</th>.....</tr>
<TMPL_LOOP name="cd_table">
<tr>
  <td><input type="checkbox" name="delete<TMPL_VAR name="__counter__">
+"</td>
  <td><TMPL_VAR name="artist"></td>
  <td><TMPL_VAR name="album"></td>
  <td><TMPL_VAR type=select name="combo1_<TMPL_VAR name="__counter__">
+">......</td>
..... # you get the idea
</TMPL_LOOP>
</table>

The Perl code is fairly simple: to set a TMPL_VAR you assign a value to it with $template->param(name=>value). To assign all the values to the rows of a TMPL_LOOP, you assign it a reference to an array of hashes, where each hash represents one row of the table, and the hashes contain the (variable name, variable value) pairs.

Note the __counter__ references above: they are meant to give each checkbox and each combobox a name associated with the row number in which it appears: that is the only way to know which checkbox or combobox the user has selected. Hope this helps...
