Well, first off...welcome and congratulations on your first post. ('Bout time, dang it.)1

Second, be sure to take some time to browse through some of the site docs on the markup you can use to provide nicely formatted messages, especially this bits about <CODE> tags. Try looking at some the documents linked here.2

Third--and finally--I think the problem lies in your second line:

  $loop_data=[
      {Auction=>'Test1', ID=>'1'},
      {Auction=>'Test2', ID=>'2'},
      {Auction=>'Test3', ID=>'3'},
      {Auction=>'Test4', ID=>'4'},
  ];

I think you want @loop_data=... instead. ;-)

I hate this computer, I wish they would sell it.

1 - growlf is the one that pointed me to this site over a year ago. I've been after him to post since then. While you might want to blame him for unleashing me on y'all, you can forgive me for giving him a bit of a bad time. (I can now say I've met two monks in RL.)

2 - Alternatively, you could /msg me or answer when I try to talk.
