my $cgi = new CGI;
print $cgi->start_table({-border=>0});
print "<tr align=\"left\">";
print $cgi->th('Sunday');
print $cgi->th('Monday');
print $cgi->th('Tuesday');
print $cgi->th('Wensday');
print $cgi->th('Thursday');
print $cgi->th('Friday');
print $cgi->th('Saturday');

Now I have a date, say "0320/2007", How could I print on the
"'Tuesday" column cell?

$cgi->td could do this? If not, how could I do?
Thanks.

If you're going to use CGI.pm to generate an HTML table why would you
manually write out 1 line of HTML?

Also, if you KNOW HTML whats the point of limiting yourself with
CGI.pm to output the HTML...

CGI.pm for HTML seemed like a good idea in 1997 for those Perl
programmers who consider HTML greek but to use it now for that reason
is ridiculous to me...

Technically, this is an HTML question that just happens to rely on
CGI.pm... Write out your HTML...

Just as in all things Perl, there are many ways to do it.

This is one...

my $q = new CGI;

print $q->table(
$q->Tr(
[
$q->th( [ 'Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday',
'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday' ] ),
$q->td( [ '&nbsp;', '&nbsp;', '03/20/2007', '&nbsp;',
'&nbsp;', '&nbsp;', '&nbsp;' ] )
]
)
),
"\n";


The bigger problem is how do you fit that into your code and data
flow?
