Hi there, can anyone help??... Please!!
I'm new to all this and i am trying to output data from a search query on mySQL to a loop variable using the loop function in HTML::Template ( <TMPL_LOOP NAME=""> <TMPL_VAR NAME=""> </TMPL_LOOP>) I understand that i have to return an array of hashes to the HTML::Template module, but i cant seem to successfully convert the output from mySQL to this array of hashes. I realise that i am missing something obvious, but i can't get my head around it. My code is something like this... 
  ##necessary stuff, use CGI etc...

  use constant TMPL_FILE => "C:/Xitami/cgi-bin6/templates/mytemplate.t
+mpl";

  my $tmpl = new HTML::Template( filename => TMPL_FILE,
                      no_includes => 1 );

  ##some other bits, then

  $dbh=DBI->connect($datasource,$user,$pass,{AutoCommit=> 1}) or die "
+Can't Connect";
          $sth=$dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM Videos WHERE $FieldN LIKE 
+?") or die;
          $sth->execute($SearchCrit);
          @vidinfo = $sth->fetchrow_array();

how do i turn this bit (above - @vidinfo)
into an array of hashes
so that this bit (below)will output
it properly??? 
  $tmpl->param( stuff =>\@whatever );
                  $tmpl->output;

all help gratefully received..
