Cool -- I'm glad the new layout makes sense.

Ahhh, the joys of using cutting edge CVS. :-) I was checking all this
stuff into a seperate branch in order to not disturb the main trunk.
Next time I do this, do you guys want a heads-up?

I did fix that in CVS last night -- thanks for the patch though.

How much effort are you willing to put into this? Do you just want to
make the existing interface more modular and thus more easiliy
customizable?

I personally feel that there are few things worth doing with the current
interface. At at least the current implementation of the current
interface. Its got many shortcomings and holes in it that bug me.

I suppose that making classes that simplify creating the tables would
also make the rest of the interface a lot cleaner and easier.

No, its not. Perl doesn't have a preprocessor. The best thing to do is
to create perl module that contains defines and common functions that
may be used by the other interface scripts.

For info on Perl modules do:

   perldoc perlmod      or
   perldoc perlmodlib

And that should give you a good intro on how to deal with modules.
