Hello, I almost have this but cannot figure out why its not showing the data, right now it knows how many entries im putting in because it spits out that number of rows. I am getting my data from dbd::mysql, it works because i have tested in in a normal test.pl and it prints out the data but not using an array or hash. I tried to follow this example: http://search.cpan.org/~samtregar/HTML-Template-2.9/Template.pm#TMPL_LOOP I think its the second loop example on there. Here is my code on the perl side: 
my @wall_data = ();
    while(my $wallref = $wallpostquery->fetchrow_hashref())
    {
        my %walldata;
       
        $walldata{WALL_SUBJECT} = $wallref{'SUBJECT'};
        $walldata{WALL_DATE} = $wallref{'DATE'};
        $walldata{WALL_POSTID} = $wallref{'POSTID'};
        $walldata{WALL_MESSAGE} = $wallref{'MESSAGE'};
       
        push (@wall_data, \%walldata); ## i have also tried push @wall
+_data, {%walldata};
    }   
    $template->param(WALL_LOOP => \@wall_data);

Web side: 
    <TMPL_LOOP NAME="WALL_LOOP">
        <h3><a href="#"><TMPL_VAR NAME='WALL_SUBJECT'> - Posted by <TM
+PL_VAR NAME="WALL_POSTID"> on <TMPL_VAR NAME="WALL_DATE"></a></h3>
        <div id="wallmessage">
            <p><TMPL_VAR NAME="WALL_MESSAGE"></p>
        </div>
    </TMPL_LOOP>

thanks for those that help, sometimes handling data types is hard for me. -Scott
