More interactive version of previous post

It's not very interactive (five copies of the table, generated by perl here from data munged by a script here, rather than some miraculous piece of AJAX), but it ought to do.

Comments on demography and on my perl style here; I'm now reasonably comfortable with things like ${$data[$indices[$j-1]]}[$k];

slight improvement in syntax

${$data[$indices[$j-1]]}[$k] is better written as $data[$indices[$j-1]][$k] to make it more left-to-right.

I know it's been a while since you did this, but I mentioned it in another forum and it's been pointed out to me that the "approximate area" is very approximate (taking France and the UK as examples). I'm not much of a programmer so, although I've looked at the code, I can't work out how this is generated and if that is an issue for the final perceved populations.

Any comment?
