Your *first* stop, should be the 'cgi-docs.html' file that comes with
the full CGI.pm package. If you don't have that, download a copy from
CPAN. It's *quite* handy to keep around while you're learning the ins
and outs of CGI.pm.

I think you would have to write that as
print $cgi->Tr( td( {-bgcolor=>'red'}, [@temparray] ) );
since <tr> doesn't take a color attribute, if I remember correctly.

As Randal mentioned, <www.htmlhelp.com> is also *my* first stop when
looking up obscure HTML bits and pieces, as well as CSS references. I
find that using CSS and embedding Stylesheets in my CGI's to be of much
more use than attempting to include dozens of <font> tags and color tags
and whatnot.
Also a validator like <http://validator.w3.org/> and the companion CSS
validator, are of inestimable use.
