A great way to do what you want is built right into DBI, there is no need for extra code to build the data structure:

my %attr = (
  dbi_fetchall_arrayref_attr => {},
);

my $statement = q{
  SELECT *
    FROM table
   WHERE field LIKE ?
};

$template->param(
  rows => $dbh->selectall_arrayref($statement, \%attr, $value),
);

This uses a little known, and undocumented feature in DBI, where selectall_arrayref() can be coerced into returning a reference to an array of hash references. This is done through the use of the \%attr hash reference passed to selectall_arrayref().
