Hi Monks,
I want to display contents of my oracle table for users to edit it. There are more than 60 fields in the table. I have a saperate table which hold the column names. This is what I am doing- 
#Select fieldnames from accfields table in @fields.
my @fields = getMultiRows($sql,1,$dbh); ##A saperate perl routine to e
+xtract data.

my $fields = join(",",@fields);

$sql = "SELECT $fields FROM tran WHERE account=?";
my $sth   = $dbh->prepare($sql); 
if(!$sth){$err= "Error preparing query " . $sql . " : ". $dbh->errstr;
+}  
if(!$sth->execute(177)){$err = "Error Executing query " . $sql . " : "
+. $dbh->errstr;}
my %rows = $sth->fetchrow_hashref;

# Now i get the html template and want to populate html form fields wi
+th data extracted. All form field names are same as   table column na
+me.

foreach(@fields){
    $template->param($_=>$rows{$_});
  }
return $template->output;

The form is displayed but fields do not show data extracted from database! Where am I making mistake? The html tag in form is - 
<input type="text" name="fname" size="40" maxlength="60" value="<!-- T
+MPL_VAR fname -->"><!-- TMPL_VAR err_fname -->
