There are any number of ways to solve this problem with HTML::Template, but here's how I'd do it. Here's the script:
use HTML::Template;
my $template = HTML::Template->new(filename => "test.tmpl");
my @data = (1 .. 30);
my $items_per_row = 5;
my $x = 0;
my @loop;
foreach (@data) {
my %row = ( data => $_ );
$row{break} = 1 unless $x % $items_per_row or $x == 0;
push @loop, \%row;
$x++;
}
$template->param(loop => \@loop);
print $template->output();
And the corresponding template:
<table>
<tr>
<tmpl_loop loop>
<tmpl_if break></tr><tr></tmpl_if>
<td><tmpl_var data></td>
</tmpl_loop>
</tr>
</table>
Does that help?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
