And how about this (the simplest and brute-force solution):

Template

<table>
<tmpl_loop name=TABLE>
        <tr>
        <tmpl_loop name=row>
                <td><tmpl_var name=name> : <tmpl_var name=picture></td
+>
        </tmpl_loop>
        </tr>
</tmpl_loop>
</table>

... and code:
use HTML::Template;

my $table =
[
    { row => [
        { name => a11, picture => aaa },
        { name => a12, picture => aaa },
        { name => a13, picture => aaa },
             ]
    },
    { row => [
        { name => a21, picture => aaa },
        { name => a22, picture => aaa },
        { name => a23, picture => aaa },
             ]
    },
    { row => [
        { name => a31, picture => aaa },
        { name => a32, picture => aaa },
        { name => a33, picture => aaa },
             ]
    },
];

my $t = HTML::Template->new(filename => 'aa.tmpl');
$t->param(TABLE => $table);

print $t->output;

And you'd better pad the last incomplete row with some dummy elements.
