Do you think you can do that in tables?
Out of all, I don't think H::T should produce logical data. It only
provides a way (or some ways) to let perl program to produce dynamic data.
So it has data abstraction such as VAR and LOOP among the others. The perl
program is the one that's responsible to fill them in with actual data.
OTOH, I count automatic numbering as part of dynamic data. If it's part of
data in the rows, then programmers must include them in the rows somehow,
like what Sam has shown.
It's important to keep H::T to only provide basic or core functionalities.
I haven't examine H::T::Expr deeply but I think there's a way to utilize it
for that purpose.
