It sounds like you are having problems populating a LOOP data structure for use with HTML::Template. I also had problems finding information about how to do this, so I'm going to post some code that does it.. hope no one minds. I use something similar to this in an application of mine. $sth is a DBI database handle that is pulling data out of a MySQL database.

    my @loop_data = ();
    while ( my @rw = $sth->fetchrow_array ) {
        my %row_data;
        $row_data{ID}       = $rw[0];
        $row_data{USERNAME} = $rw[1];
        $row_data{TIME}     = $rw[3];
        push( @loop_data, \%row_data );
    }
    $template->param( VIEW_DATA => \@loop_data );
    print $template->output();

The template would look something like this:

   <TMPL_LOOP NAME=VIEW_DATA>
      ID: <TMPL_VAR NAME=ID> <br>
      USERNAME:  <TMPL_VAR NAME=USERNAME> <br>
      TIME: <TMPL_VAR NAME=TIME> <br>
   </TMPL_LOOP>

As for getting a list of all params that were passed to the CGI module, why? Normally you only want to deal with data you were expecting (aka, data that was passed as part of an HTML form, or data that was part of the spec for a web service). Trying to process data you weren't expecting tends to lead to Bad Things (tm).

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
