Re: Yet Another Stupid CGI Question

Greetings.

Not understanding while you want to interpolate the entire sub, I would offer more ways to do it.
(1)

# Trivial double loop - build, then print
my $aref=[]; #reference to anonymous array.
foreach $thing (@thingies) {
   push @{$aref},foo($thing);
}

print_table($aref);
#...
sub print_table {
    my $aryref=shift
    foreach my $thing (@{$aryref}) {
    #etc.
    }
}

(2)

#bypass cgi's html facilities
print '<table>';
 foreach $thing (@thingies){
       #foo returns an array of cell contents.
       print '<tr><td>',join('</td><td>',
             foo($thing)),'</td><tr>'; 
}
print '</table>';

CGI's html convenience functions are - IMHO - just that, convenience (as opposed to the powerful parameter parsing, handling, etc. where CGI unreplaceably shines).
Sometimes rolling your own html can be just the thing.
