Greetings!

I am assigning an array using an HTML::Template parameter (which I had set) like this: 

my @array = $tmpl->param('SOME_LOOP');

[download]

Which works just fine. If I use Data::Dumper, the contents of the array looks just as I expect (an array of hashes).

But, if I try to reassign that variable (in the same way I originally had, even without doing anything to the array) like this: 

$tmpl->param(SOME_LOOP => \@array);

[download]

I get this error: 

HTML::Template->output() : fatal error in loop output : Not a HASH ref
+erence at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/HTML/Template.pm line 3059.

Any ideas?
