display hash in an html template

rsennat has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi All,
I have an hash of arrays which needs to be put into an HTML Template. So that hash of arrays may contain text value or selection box or drop down box.

I could do it but its really very complex. For each and every selection box, I need to create a TMPL VAR and display the values.

Is there a simpler way to do this??

Thanks.

    You may want to consult the FAQ section of HTML::Template's POD. Specifically...

    Q: What's the best way to create a <select> form element using HTML::Template?

    Or something like this.... 
    my $ary_ref = [
  { value=>1, text=>'val1'},
  { value=>2, text=>'val2'},
];

..
$template->param(
  select = $ary_ref,
  ...
);

### .tmpl
<select>
<TMPL_LOOP NAME=select>
<option value="<TMPL_VAR NAME=value>"><TMPL_VAR NAME=text></TMPL_LOOP>
</select>
