Re: Constructing HTML tables with CGI.pm

It looks like you're headed towards something like the following (untested) fragment.

print
    $q->header('text/html'),
    $q->start_html('yada yada'),
    $q->h2('more yada'),
    $q->hr,
    $q->table( { -border => 1, -width => '100%' }, (
        map {
            $q->Tr(
                $q->td($_), $q->td($host{$_})
            )
        } sort keys %host
    )),
    $q->end_html;

Note how map replaces the foreach you thought you'd need.

Note also that you want the header to be 'text/html'. 'text/plain' will work for some browsers (e.g., IE), but only because they try to outsmart the content type if the the body looks like HTML. Don't rely on this behavior.
