NAME
   HTML::Table::Compiler - Extension for HTML::Table to tabularize data

SYNOPSIS
       use HTML::Table::Compiler;
       $table = HTML::Table::Compiler->new(2, 25);
       $table->compile([1..50]);
       print "$table";

DESCRIPTION
   HTML::Table, while making it easy to create and manipulate tabular data,
   doesn't allow such obvious functionality as tabularizing existing array
   of data.

   One comes across this challenge a lot in building Web applications such
   as galleries, where you know how many items you want to display, you
   know how many rows and columns you want. Challenge becomes to split the
   data set into rows and columns and display it as an HTML table.

   HTML::Table::Compiler introduces this functionality through its
   compile() method.

 EXPORT

   None

 METHODS

   compile(\@dataset)
       Builds an HTML::Table::Compiler object (which really IS A
       HTML::Table) with elements of the \@dataset. Row and column numbers
       should be defined in new():

           @dataset = (1..50);

           $table = new HTML::Table::Compiler->new(2, 10);
           $table->compile(\@dataset);

       In the above example HTML::Table::Compiler may add additional rows
       to accommodate all the data, otherwise only first 20 elements of the
       @dataset would be tabularized. If this is not a desired behavior,
       you should turn autoGrow() feature off:

           $table = new HTML::Table::Compiler->new(2, 10);
           $table->autoGrow(0);
           $table->compile(\@dataset);

       For all the available methods consult HTML::Table's online manual.
