Hello monks,

Can anyone tell me how to change a hash in order for it to be fed to a <TMPL_LOOP> within HTML::Template? Here is what I am doing:


$img_number = $1;
$img_user = $2;
$hash{$img_number} = $img_user;

This happens several times, and then I have a large hash. Do I need to put this into an array and assign it names? I tried the code below:

my @loop_data = ();
push(@loop_data, \%hash);

my $template = HTML::Template->new(filename => 'fun.tmpl');
my $CGI = CGI->new();
$template->param(template_loop => \@loop_data);
print $CGI->header( );
print $CGI->title("Here is your output.");
print $template->output;
exit;

and it didn't work. It gave the following error:
HTML::Template->output() : fatal error in loop output : HTML::Template
+ : Attempt to set nonexistent parameter 'URL229' - this parameter nam
+e doesn't match any declarations in the template file : (die_on_bad_p
+arams => 1) at /usr/share/perl5/HTML/Template.pm line 2789
 at /var/www/QQ/funtimes.pl line 171

I am sure that an array is involved, but I dont know how to go from a has to an array. Is this what is needed?

Thank you.
