Your solution looks fine, but I have to comment on one thing - the naming of your variables. This is just personal preference, but IMHO it makes your code much clearer and much more readable if you name the variables - especially references - what they are, or what they contain.
Here is your example with some of the variables renamed:
print "\t<tr>\n";
if (ref($data) eq 'ARRAY')
{
### Since each element of the array is a hash reference,
### name it so you know what it is.
#foreach my $array (@$data)
foreach my $hashref (@$data)
{
#foreach my $value (keys %$array)
foreach my($key,$value) (each %$hashref)
{
#print "\t\t<td>$array->{$value}</td>\n";
print "\t\t<td>$value</td>\n";
}
}
}
elsif ref($data) eq 'HASH')
{
#foreach my $value (keys %$data)
foreach my($key,$value) (each %$data)
{
#print "\t\t<td>$array->{$value}</td>\n";
print "\t\t<td>$value</td>\n";
}
}
else
{
print "\t\t<td>Too Bad Sucka!</td>\n";
}
print "\t</tr>\n";
