use the modulus operator -- % isn't just for hashes.
for (1..100) {
print "$_ ";
print "\n" if ($_ % 5 ==0); # add a break (or other string) every
+5 elements
}
There are other ways to do it, but that's the most perl, I think.
Other ways?
@foo = map {$_*5} (1..10); # generate a list by fives.
print join " ", @foo,"\n\n"; # see the fives.
print "<table>"; # replace with calls to CGI.pm as appropriate.
for my $ctr (0..$#foo) {
print " <tr>\n ";
print " <td>$_</td>" for (($ctr*5)+1 .. $foo[$ctr]);
print "\n </tr>\n";
}
print "</table>\n\n";

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).
