I've been playing around with nested <TMPL_LOOP> structures in HTML::Template and I've run into some trouble. I have a hash with over 40 keys, and I want to turn it into a set of HTML tables like this:

key	key1	key2	key3	key4	key5
value	val1	val2	val3	val4	val5

key	key6	key7	key8	key9	key10
value	val6	val7	val8	val9	val10

Each table should be no more than 6 cells wide, including the <th>'s. I've got the HTML template defined as follows:

<TMPL_LOOP NAME=TABLE>
<table>
<tr>
<th>key</th>
<TMPL_LOOP NAME=KEYCELL>
<td><TMPL_VAR NAME=KEY></td>
</TMPL_LOOP>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>key</th>
<TMPL_LOOP NAME=VALCELL>
<td><TMPL_VAR NAME=VAL></td>
</TMPL_LOOP>
</tr>
</table>
</TMPL_LOOP>

My problem is that I can't for the life of me wrap my head around how to build the array to pass in the $template->param(TABLE => [ @array ]) line of my script. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

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.
