You're not reproducing the same setup. Instead of:

Call list for [% today %]
<p>
[% FOREACH user IN data %]
     Be sure to call [% user.ulname %], [% user.ufname %]
[% END %]
[download]

you should use the values virtual method:

Call list for [% today %]
<p>
[% FOREACH user IN data.values %]
     Be sure to call [% user.ulname %], [% user.ufname %]
[% END %]
[download]

which gives you back the list that FOREACH iterates on.

As an alternative, you should modify your Perl code:

# build data structure
my @data;
while (($user_id, $ufname, $ulname) = $sth->fetchrow_array()) {
     push @data, {
          ufname => $ufname,
          ulname => $ulname
     }
}
[download]

and then pass \@data instead of \%data.

Which way to go is up to you, but keep in mind that using the hash will destroy record order (which does not seem an issue in your case, you don't specify any ORDER BY clause in your SQL query) and using an array won't let you address every record by user_id. Just to name a few differences.

Don't fool yourself.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
