in reply to Simple question regarding CGI and printing tables

Stop thinking "what Perl can I write to accomplish this effect?" and start thinking "what HTML can I write to accomplish this effect?"

Once you know the HTML you need, then writing the Perl to generate that HTML should be simple. There are two layers to this problem - figure them out separately.

perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'
