Re: printing a table in html using data read from a file

There was a lot of good discussion about creating tables in this node (was that node by you too?). What stands out for me is your statement:

I can't ever get "use HTML::Table" to work, just includeing it make it crash

You might want to test your system by doing something simple like:

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
use strict;
use CGI::Carp qw(warningsToBrowser fatalsToBrowser);
use CGI;
use HTML::Table;
print <<EOF
Content-type: text/html\r
\r
<html><body><h1>Looks OK to me...</h1></body></html>
EOF
[download]

Then you should at least see if you can include HTML::Table. Look at the generated HTML as well; warnings will appear as HTML comments.

It looks like you're missing CGI::Carp and/or HTML::Table in your installed modules. Make sure that you have them installed. Try running g.cgi from a command prompt: `perl g.cgi` [download] .	[reply] [d/l]
