in reply to printing a table in html using data read from a file

You left out some pertinant info, so this may not be the EXACT answer you are looking for - but it works. I am only using CGI, i recommend using some CSV module for this, such as Text::CSV_XS or Text::xSV but since you are on another server and they obviously don't have the modules installed that you want, i present this to you:
use strict; use CGI qw(:standard); print header(); print "<table>\n"; while (<DATA>) { chomp; print "\t<tr>\n"; print map { "\t\t<td>$_</td>\n" } split(/,/,$_); print "\t</tr>\n"; } print "</table>\n"; __DATA__ ACM Computing Surveys, InfoTrac, ExpAcd, Dec-96 ACM Computing Surveys, PDQ, ABIGlobal, Mar-96 ACM Computing Surveys, PDQ,PAbsII, Mar-96 ACM Transactions on Computer Systems, InfoTrac, ExpAcd,Nov-96 Communications of the ACM, InfoTrac, ExpAcd, Jan-89 Communications of the ACM, InfoTrac, GBus, Jan-88 Communications of the ACM, PDQ, ABIGlobal, Jan-92 Communications of the ACM, PDQ, PAbsII, Jan-92
You will need to modify this to meet your needs, but at least it's a start. Have fun :)

Also, you can always install modules on your personal space and use 'use lib' to let Perl know where to find them: use lib "/path/to/your/installed/mods";
