Template is the way to go for projects like this. It really makes things much easier for a team. HTML coders can get the thing to look just right while programmers feed them the data. Separation of form and content. It's a beautiful thing. You could actually do this programmatically with Template. It has builtin iterators itself. It'd look a little different, but would be similar to the nested loops concept. In fact, I think that Template has a table function you might be able to use:
Template::Table
But you have to go through the {sarcasm}joy{/sarcasm} of installing Template first. It isn't that bad, actually, especially for just the plain jane version. You might look into it.

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).
