how to put html table in perl

[Samm]

I already parsed the data using perl, but now since the list is long and I want to update it every time I run the perl program how can I embed the table using html inside of my perl script.

The format looks like this

Please help
thanks

Can somebody show me how I can put html in perl

Bob, health care, date=18:18 on July 9, total = 100, sum, 80, result =
+done
Bob, benefit, date 11:16 on July12, total =100
Bob, dental, date 11:20 July 2, result = done
Tom, health care, date=18:18 on July 9, total = 100, sum, 80, result =
+done
Tom, benefit, date 11:16 on July12, total =100
Tom, dental, date 11:20 July 2, result = failed
<<,    ***      <<

You need to be more clear with your question - what does your data look like, and what html do you want to "embed in perl"??

You might want to read the information here. With a little effort you should be able to figure it out. With CGI.pm you can do things like this ...

print table({-border=>undef},
           caption('When Should You Eat Your Vegetables?'),
           Tr({-align=>CENTER,-valign=>TOP},
           [
              th(['Vegetable', 'Breakfast','Lunch','Dinner']),
              td(['Tomatoes' , 'no', 'yes', 'yes']),
              td(['Broccoli' , 'no', 'no',  'yes']),
              td(['Onions'   , 'yes','yes', 'yes'])
           ]
           )
        );

Well, in general, you may not want to embedd html in your perl code. I'd use Template Toolkit to generate the html.
