[Catalyst] HTML::Widget and output into a html table

[Zbigniew Lukasiak]

I would rather make this transformation with Perl and one of the XPath
libraries: XML::XPath
http://search.cpan.org/~msergeant/XML-XPath-1.13/XPath.pm or
Template::Plugin::XML::XPath -
http://search.cpan.org/~abw/Template-Toolkit-2.14/lib/Template/Plugin/XML/XPath.pm.
