Instead of array refs $data11a, $data11b, etc., make a hash whose keys are 11a, 11b, etc., and store the array refs in it. Then, instead of accessing $data11a->[ $n ] you'd access $data{ 11a }[ $n ]. Or use push to avoid explicit indices. 

# my %goals; @goals{ qw( 11a 11b 22 33 ) } = ();
my @flds = qw( id title summary );
if ($sqldata) { 
   my %data;
   for my $d ( @$sqldata ) {
      my $g = $d->{ 'goal' };
#     next unless exists $goals{ $g };
      my %h;
      @h{ @flds } = @{ $d }{ @flds };  # hash slice assignment
      push @{ $data{ $g } }, \%h;
   }

   for my $g ( keys %data ) {
     $template ->param( "list$g" => $data{ $g } );
   }
}

If you really want to control the valid values for the "goal" parameters, then uncomment the two commented lines. This will cause any record with a "goal" not in this list to be ignored.

Update: Filled in the details. Fixed typo pointed out by bradcathey.
