Dear Monks,
I'm struggling once more with HTML::Template. As an example I provide a tiny csv-file that I use as a database. I currently use Data::Table (...for all kind of shuffling that's not mentioned here...) but the HTML output that comes from the script that is shown below (SelectDataScript) is not really what I want. If I would like to use HTML::Template I understand I need to feed the data into an array of hashes but currently I'm getting nowhere. Guess my template (see below 'template_whthr.tmpl') should work but can't I use the $table object that was generated in some way?
I'm grateful for any clues.

# open( OUT, ">snow.html" ) or die "cant open out $!";

my $dbh = DBI->connect( 'dbi:AnyData(RaiseError=>1):' or die $DBI::err
+str );
$dbh->func(
    'whthr', 'CSV',
    'wheather.csv',
    {
        sep_char  => ',',
        # eol       => "\015",
        col_names => 'day,type'
    },
    'ad_catalog'
);

my $table = Data::Table::fromSQL( $dbh,
    "SELECT day, type FROM whthr WHERE type='snow'" );

print $table->html; # not the preferred formatting
print $table->csv; # ?

# for my $row (@rows) {
#   push( @loop_data, {FILES => $row} );
# }
# Can I use the object $table for the $template of HTML::Template?
# my $template = HTML::Template->new( filename => 'template_whthr.tmpl
+' );

# print OUT $template->output;
