@loop_data and $loop_data are not the same. Use either:

my $loop_data=[
    {Auction=>'Test1', ID=>'1'},
    {Auction=>'Test2', ID=>'2'},
    {Auction=>'Test3', ID=>'3'},
    {Auction=>'Test4', ID=>'4'},
];
$template->param(table1 => $loop_data);

or,
my @loop_data=(
    {Auction=>'Test1', ID=>'1'},
    {Auction=>'Test2', ID=>'2'},
    {Auction=>'Test3', ID=>'3'},
    {Auction=>'Test4', ID=>'4'},
   );
$template->param(table1 => \@loop_data);

Update: Ref. The fetchall_answer!, your commented out code should work if $sth is properly derived from a DBI connection object. The form of get_event_info() makes me think that you are not hitting the database or preparing and executing the statement. You may be looking for 

my $arrayref = $dbi->selectall_arrayref("select statement from sql")
$arrayref = convert_to_hashes( $arrayref);
$template->param(table1 => $arrayref);

except that the rows do not appear as hashes in that call.
