Fellow Monasterians,

I thought I was doing this right, but.... I'm trying to make an AoH ref acceptable for an HMTL::Template loop. Here's the salient code:

my $allshows;
for my $i ( 0 .. $#ids ) {
   $stmt = "SELECT id,title,teaser,number FROM shows WHERE id = '$ids[
+$i]';    
   &execute_it( $stmt ); #db operations to grab all matches
   push @$allshows, $sth->fetchall_arrayref({});
}

$template = HTML::Template->new(filename => 'showslisting.tmpl');
$template -> param( showlist  => $allshows );

[download]

Which gives me an error of

Single reference arg to param() must be a hash-ref!

I did try:

$template -> param( showlist  => @$allshows );

But that gives me an error:

You gave me an odd number of parameters to param()

If it's helpful, Data Dumper returns this for my AoH:

$VAR1 = [  {  
'id' => '6',  
'teaser' => 'Domestic violence has been called a serious health crisis
+.',
'title' => 'Battered and Broken',
'number' => '214'  }  ];

Thanks!
