13DESCRIPTION
14 HTML::Table is used to generate HTML tables for
15 CGI scripts. By using the methods provided fairly
16 complex tables can be created, manipulated, then printed
17 from Perl scripts. The module also greatly simplifies
18 creating tables within tables from Perl. It is possible
19 to create an entire table using the methods provided and
20 never use an HTML tag.
21
22 HTML::Table also allows for creating dynamically sized
23 tables via its addRow and addCol methods. These methods
24 automatically resize the table if passed more cell values
25 than will fit in the current table grid.
26
27 Methods are provided for nearly all valid table, row, and
28 cell tags specified for HTML 3.0.

30HISTORY
31 This module was originally created in 1997 by Stacy Lacy and whose last
32 version was uploaded to CPAN in 1998. The module was adopted in July 2000
33 by Anthony Peacock in order to distribute a revised version. This adoption
34 took place without the explicit consent of Stacy Lacy as it proved impossible
35 to contact them at the time. Explicit consent for the adoption has since been
36 received.
