Hi drfrog,

The point is that their is no need to build the list of hashes! You can get it straight from the database. By changing: 

# This method returns a reference to an array of array-refs
my $site = $sth->fetchall_arrayref;

[download]
to: 
# This method returns a reference to an array of hash-refs
my $site = $sth->fetchall_arrayref( {} );

Produces a structure which can be directly passed to the TMPL_LOOP, like this: 
$template->param( view => $site );

assuming of course that the one field returned, using your example code, was name.

My reference to dkubb was not to in any way impune what he did, but merely to try and cite the appropriate references as I knew them. The method he used originally was removed and this one obviously added in its place!
