Jim, it looks like the script was designed to format its output
as individual (bulleted) lines, and that you are wrestling with
changing the output format into a table/cell layout. Yes?
Based on the code contained in your post, I ran the script... but
the resulting page it returned didn't yield the <html> problem
you described. Perhaps you'll achieve your desired layout if
you edit a few more lines of the script. As-is, list item tags are
being output half the time, and cell tags the rest of the time:
if ($outt =~ /Table/) { print "</table>\n"; }
<<<snip>>>
if (!($outt =~ /Table/)) { printf("<li> <<<snip>>>
else { printf("<tr><td align=right> %3s <<<snip>>>
