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