I've been playing around with nested <TMPL_LOOP> structures in HTML::Template and I've run into some trouble. I have a hash with over 40 keys, and I want to turn it into a set of HTML tables like this:

key key1 key2 key3 key4 key5
value val1 val2 val3 val4 val5
key key6 key7 key8 key9 key10
value val6 val7 val8 val9 val10

Each table should be no more than 6 cells wide, including the <th>'s. I've got the HTML template defined as follows:

<TMPL_LOOP NAME=TABLE>
<table>
<tr>
<th>key</th>
<TMPL_LOOP NAME=KEYCELL>
<td><TMPL_VAR NAME=KEY></td>
</TMPL_LOOP>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>key</th>
<TMPL_LOOP NAME=VALCELL>
<td><TMPL_VAR NAME=VAL></td>
</TMPL_LOOP>
</tr>
</table>
</TMPL_LOOP>

My problem is that I can't for the life of me wrap my head around how to build the array to pass in the $template->param(TABLE => [ @array ]) line of my script. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
