I think you have an excellent point, Todd.

I first tried out your code. I produced the same output. So I went to the 
Embperl site to look up the $cnt variable since I've never used it before with 
dynamic tables, only the $row and $col ones. The definition states:

   "Contains the number of table cells displayed so far. (See HTML tag table.)"

Seems to me, too, that by definition of $cnt your code should have had the 
intended 3 rows/columns. I didn't see any actual examples of $cnt on the 
website, but found one in the examples that came with the installation:

   [- @k = keys %ENV -]

   [-$maxcol=3-]
   <table>
       <tr>
           <td>[+ $i=$cnt +] </td>
           <td>[+ $k[$cnt] +] </td>
           <td>[+ $ENV{$k[$i]} +] </td>
       </tr> 
   </table>

Which only outputs:

   SCRIPT_NAME          /pages/test.epl

And looking at the source of the output:

   <table>
       <tr>
           <td> </td>
           <td>SCRIPT_NAME </td>
           <td>/pages/test.epl </td>
       </tr> 
   </table>

So I too am confused. Could someone further define $cnt and/or explain why it 
doesn't work as intended?

I'm wondering if anyone on this list would have any knowledge regarding
the following Embperl question?

Is anyone aware of a bug I may have encountered?

Thanks.

Is anyone successfully using the $cnt and $maxcol variables?
