Thank you for the suggestions. It still does not work, but I am going to rewrite pieces of the code to make this functionality more generic since it will be used in other places in my script.

I plan to call GetListFromDB with an additional parameter. Specifically I am going to pass the name of a function that will (based on the SQL statement) build a specific hash table and then I will leave it up to the GetListFromDB to build the array of hash refs for HTML::Template. Perhaps in the rewrite I will fix whatever I broke (I can dream).

A few questions were asked about the original posting that I would like to answer. There was no message in the error_log file indicating a problem. However the array I am trying to create to pass to HTML::Template was part of the header (VERY odd). Perhaps I can unstep on the toes I have stepped on in the rewrite.

Thanks again for your responses. Now on with my coding.
