Short answer - This is fairly straight-forward, but you need to shift from using the fetchall_* methods to build the nested <tmpl_loop></tmpl_loop> data structure in a named fashion.

Long answer - The HTML::Template module allows for nesting of <tmpl_loop></tmpl_loop> loop structures within the template file which in turn allows you to "dynamically" resize your output table accordingly. For example, consider the template file below ...

<table>
  <tmpl_loop name="row">
  <tr>
    <tmpl_loop name="cell">
    <td align="left"><tmpl_var name="cell"></td>
    </tmpl_loop>
  </tr>
  </tmpl_loop>
</table>

... And the following now tested and working Perl code (updated 2002/03/04) ...

my $sth = $dbh->prepare(qq/ SELECT * FROM table /);
$sth->execute;

my @row;
while (my $row = $sth->fetchrow_arrayref) {
    my @cell;
    foreach my $cell ( @{$row} ) {
        push @cell, { 'cell' => $cell };
    }
    push @row, { 'cell' =>  \@cell};
}
$html->param(
    'row'  =>  \@row
);

$sth->finish;

In this example, an array-of-array-of-hashes has been built representing the nested loops within the HTML template file - When writing code which builds these data structures, I find it exceptionally useful to call upon Data::Dumper to visualise the data structure during development.
