Hello, I am experimenting with templating a table. I have no issues with fixed data structures... but now I need to generate a table with HTML::Template where the number and the names of the columns may vary. I generate my data like this:

my    $dictionary = [
              {
                'Spanish' => 'uno',
                'English' => 'one',
                'Italian' => 'uno',
              },
              {
                'Spanish' => 'dos',
                'English' => 'twho',
                'Italian' => 'due',
              },
              {
                'Spanish' => 'tres',
                'English' => 'Three',
                'Italian' => 'tre',
              }
            ];

    use HTML::Template;
    my $template = HTML::Template->new(filename => 'dictionary.tmpl');
    $template->param(DICTIONARY => $dictionary);
    $template->output;

However, my data may also look like this:

my $dictionary = [
              {
                'Spanish' => 'uno',
                'French' => '1',
              },
              {
                'Spanish' => 'dos',
                'French' => '2',
              },
              {
                'Spanish' => 'tres',
                'French' => '3',
              }
            ];

How could I template this?
