Al,
Besides the packages and SSI approaches you can also
-- create a template file that has the table location marked, e.g.
###TABLE-DATA###
-- have the program read the template file, generate the table output and
then output it like so
my $tableData = &tableData();
my $page = &getTemplate();
for ($page) {s/###TABLE-DATA###/$tableData/}
print &httpHdrs();
print $page;
This has the advantages of
-- separating the tagging from the code so the designer can still work
with the template, and even display the results on a browser w/o the table data
-- being easier to implement as a first introduction to learning tools
like Mason
