ok, several comments --

One, there is an H::T list. If you are going to use H::T a lot (and it would be great if you do), I would encourage you to join the list because the focus of all the members of the list is nothing but H::T.

repeatedly, in your code you have a trailing comma in while defining your hash. I am surprised you are not getting an error for that. 

%hash (
   des => 'Form 2',
   # field label
   label => 'Label 2',
   # name of field
   field => 'field2',
   # size of text input field
   value => '10',
   submit => 'submit',
   options => \@options,

  if_more => 0,
);

that last comma, the one after if_more => 0, should not be there.

Look at what the error message is saying -- it is telling you that you are trying to set parameter 'options' with a scalar, but that parameter is not a TMPL_VAR. Well, look at your template... 'options' is indeed not a TMPL_VAR but a TMPL_LOOP, and a TMPL_LOOP expects a ref to an array of hashrefs. If you give it a scalar (which, you inadvertently do by not setting a value for options in your second example), the code will croak.
