I produced a number of web "image gallery" pages, but I didn't use HTML::Template. Mea Culpa.

Having got that out of the way, here's what I had to do.

I produced tables in the following form, from either odd- or even-numbered lists of images:

 --------     --------
|        |   |        |     
|   1    |   |   2    |     
|        |   |        |     
|        |   |        |     
 --------     --------
 --------     --------
|        |   |        |     
|   3    |   |   4    |     
|        |   |        |     
|        |   |        |     
 --------     --------

but sometimes, if there were an odd number of images:

 --------     --------
|        |   |        |     
|   1    |   |   2    |     
|        |   |        |     
|        |   |        |     
 --------     --------
 --------    
|        |      
|   3    |     empty
|        |     cell
|        |       
 --------

So how exactly *would* I do that with HTML template, next time around?

My method this way was to have an odd-numbered cell chunk of code, which started a TR, and an even-numbered cell which ended one, and test for "having run out of content on an odd number" and dump in the blank cell chunk of code if necessary.

I'm scratching my head over the HTML::Template doco and trying to figure out how I would have done this -- any ideas?

($_='kkvvttuubbooppuuiiffssqqffssmmiibbddllffss')
=~y~b-v~a-z~s; print

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).
