Personally I avoid using the C-style for, since I find it harder to see exactly what what it is doing at a glance. I also avoid loop indexes as they aren't very perlish. This is another way to do it, but it destroys the arrays, which may or may not be acceptable. 
while ( @tmpl_array ) {
  my ($loop, $aref) = splice @tmpl_array,0,2;

  my @vars;

  while (@$aref) {
    my ($name, $url) = splice @$aref,0,2;
    push @vars, { name => $name, url => $url };
  }
  $tmpl->param($loop, \@vars;
}
