Running into a problem while recoding all my scripts to use HTML::Tempalte (thus removing all HTML from the coding itself)...

The following code takes %bnb, and sorts the keys by the values assigned to them, and then assigns any key/value pair that doesn't have a 0 value to a variable that I want to send to HTML template as a LOOP element:

my %bnb = {Seals => 0, Fighters => 0, Panzers => 0, 'Heavy Lasers' => 
+0, Marines => 0, Bombers => 0};
my $bestNw;
foreach my $key (sort { $bnb{$a} <=> $bnb{$b} } keys %bnb) {
    if ($bnb{$key} > 0) {
        my $value = addComma($bnb{$key});
        push @$bestNw, { unit => $key, value => $value };
    }
}

I'm running into a problem though... when I try to send $bestNW with:

$template->param(bestNw => $bestNw);

where bestNw is called using: <TMPL_LOOP NAME=bestNw> in the template file, I'm getting the following error:

"HTML::Template::param() : attempt to set parameter 'bestnw' with a scalar - parameter is not a TMPL_VAR! at /apache/cgi-bin/test.cgi line 241"

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
