Just to note, jeffa's and cfreak's similar solutions don't quite get the output that fireartist wanted. Specifically, they output a table which looks like this:

1    2    3     4    5
one  two  three four five
ein  zwei drei  veir funf
hana dool set   net  dasut
yi   er   san   si   wu
[download]

However, what fireartist wanted was the following table:

1 one   ein  hana  yi
2 two   zwei dool  er 
3 three drei set   san 
4 four  veir net   si 
5 five  funf dasut wu

The desired HTML table output doesn't exactly match the structure of the @data array given in the code. In fact, luckily for fireartist, I don't think this "correct" output is possible to do efficiently with map().

With that said, the two solutions given by jeffa and cfreak are good starters for the most common HTML::Template situations. For everyone's sanity, it's usually best to keep the internal data structures consistent with the structure of the output table. In this case, the @data structure was symmetric to the output table, but not quite the same (perhaps because of other uses of @data in other code, or just unfamiliarity with HTML::Template). But in about 90% of situations, you want to make your internal data structured in the same way as the output. This way you get to use map(), and these two writeups are right on point for help in those situations (especially jeffa's suggestion to use Data::Dumper).
