I see no reason to mention that you are using HTML::Template, get_users() should suffice. HTML::Template, Template Toolkit, Class::DBI, and Mason all pretty much expect the same kind of data structures, so i wouldn't bother appending the templating name into your method names.

However, these days i have been using Class::DBI and class methods to retrieve such data, so i can make my own Customer class and use it like so: 

use Customer;

my @customer = Customer->retrieve_all();

Class::DBI takes care of creating getter and setter methods for you. And there is also the "poor man's object" method by simply using DBI's selectall_arrayref() method: 
my $customer = $dbh->selectall_arrayref(
    "SELECT customer_id, username FROM customer",
    { Slice => {} }
);

Now $customers contains a data structure ready to be passed to an HTML::Template <TMPL_LOOP> tag. :)
