I was wondering if I had I had explained that properly.  Basically the 
problem is that HTML::Template wants lists of hashes for tmpl_loops.  So 
if you have  $data = ['a', 'b', 'c'];  it would get converted to

$data = [
    { data_item => 'a' },
    { data_item => 'b' },
    { data_item => 'c' },
];

so that in the template you could say

<tmpl_loop data>
     <tmpl_var data_item>
</tmpl_loop>

In retrospect I should have used foo or something instead of data to 
indicate it is just an example.
