in reply to Passing array of references to Template

You simply need a second loop, something like this (untested):

[% FOR line IN results %]
    [% FOR item IN line %]
        [% item %]
    [% END %]
[% END %]

And in answer to should I deference it, bind the columns and then sent it to Template?--no, it's not necessary, and in fact Template Toolkit does not do what one expects (or at least what I expect) if you use arrays directly, as opposed to an array ref, for arrays with one element. It's safest to always use array refs.

    Is it FOR or FOREACH? I had been trying (and having some success with FOREACH) Regardless, neither of them work!

      FOR and FOREACH are completely interchangeable. I prefer the former, but either is fine.

      I would suggest that you convince us (or yourself, at least) that $results contains what you expect, e.g. using Data::Dumper.

      Update: it occurs to me that @sendoff is never defined. Did you really run this using strict? You don't seem to need $sendoff or @sendoff at all: just write 

      $template->param('results' => $results);

        Yeah - printing the \@sendoff via Dumper displays what I need. I actually have a typo in what I posted, the actual code is 
        my $results = &return_values;
my @sendoff = @$results;
