ok so, I already have

    $formTemplate = new HTML::Template( filename => $FORM_TMPL_FILE );
    
    for my $key (keys %formparams) 
    {
        $formTemplate->param($key => $formparams{"$key"});
    }
    createForm($formTemplate);
[download]

How do I incorporate

my @loop_data;
for my $dept (@dept) {
  push(@loop_data, {DEPT => $dept});
}
$template->param(DEPT_LOOP => \@loop_data);
[download]

Sorry, i'm new to TMPL_LOOP... i'm reading the docs...
UPDATE
I guess i need DEPT to be part of my %formparams
DEPT =>@loop_data

update2 I GOT IT! After

 my @loop_data;
  foreach my $dept (@dept) {
  push(@loop_data, {DEPT => $dept});
  }
[download]

I just need to add:
DEPT_LOOP => \@loop_data,
to %formparams
I think i actually get it too, lol Thanks guys
