you want Tr () to output your hash. so, each key/value pair inside the hash must be encapsulated inside a td () - the loop to use therefore is "map", not "for".
for is only used for the sideeffects of the corresponding block that is applied to each of the elements of the list. especially the for does not return anything meaningful.
the map takes a list, and returns a list - and that is what you want. you specify the transform of each element in the list in the map block. consider this:
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI qw/:standard/;
my %hosts = ('a' .. 'z');
cgiOut ();
sub cgiOut {
my $q = new CGI;
print $q->header( "text/plain" ),
$q->start_html( -title=>"Apache Stats for \$hostname",
-bgcolor=>"#ffffff"),
$q->h2( "Apache Stats for \$hostname" ),
$q->hr,
$q->table( { -border=>"1", -width=>"100%" },
$q->Tr({}, [map {
td([$_, $hosts{$_}])
} sort keys %hosts])),
$q->end_html;
}

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).
