I usually make a 2 element array, and store one color in each element. Then I have a flip-flop counter, that starts at zero or one, and at the end of the loop, is set to one minus itself (thus flip-flopping between 0 and 1), and then in the loop just refer to the counter's element of the array. It goes something like this:
@colors = (black, white);
$flipflop=0;
while ($n < $nmax) {
print("<tr color=\"$colors[$flipflop]\"><td>content</td></tr>");
$flipflop = 1 - $flipflop;
}

If we don't change direction soon, we'll end up where we're going.

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).
