The hell you say. http://www.alistapart.com/articles/slidingdoors/ http://www.kalsey.com/tools/csstabs/ &c Not saying that necessarily answers the OP but if you just render all of the arrays' results into CSS tabs, that might be it. It's not perl that's doing it, but perl can certainly write the CSS and HTML to do it.	[reply]

The hell you say, those are lists, not tabs.	[reply]

Yes, they're lists. Lists of data which are rendered as tabs. If you mean there isn't a controlling GUI with fixed blocks of data being rendered as separate, buttoned panes of windows, frames if you will, then you're absolutely right. Ask the average user what the difference is between Firefox tabs and CSS tabs, you will get... "Uh, I think the first ones are higher on the page, right?"	[reply]

True, but then computers do not have tabs either. File folders have tabs, some books have tabs, soda cans have tabs (of a different kind), but not computers. Computers only have a tab metaphor. The metaphor used in a browser with tabs, or a configuration screen with tabs, or an HTML page with tabs is consistent to the degree that each has a set of user interactable elements called tabs and each tab is associated with a set of widgets or content and that when a selected form of interaction (typically a mouse click or keyboard navigation) is performed on a tab the content or widgets of the previously active tab are removed from the screen and the content or widgets of the newly active tab are displayed. That a tab is rendered by the OS, by an application, or by HTML/CSS does not negate the common metaphor they share, so if any are tabs they are all tabs.	[reply]
