Also, as a side note, why are you using DBIx::XHTML_Table. To me it would seem like that would definitely limit the control you have over the table layout, structure, look and feel, etc.
When displaying tables like that from a db I usually use Class::DBI and make each element of a retrieve() an iteration of a TMPL_LOOP H::T or a [% FOR %] in TT.

My meager Perl skills are probably killing me on this one. I am trying to use the module in question to get info out of a database nicely format it and then plaster it into my html page.
sub open_tickets { my $self = shift;

# Open the desired template my $template = $self->load_tmpl('open.tmpl', cache => 1);
# Connect my $table_db = DBIx::XHTML_Table->new('dbi:Oracle:dbname', 'user', 'pass', { RaiseError => 1, } );
# SQL query to get all open tickets $table_db->exec_query(" select * from users ");
my $table_data = $table_db->output(); # this is probably it, though I am not sure.
$table_db->disconnect;
# Fill in params $template->param( page_header => $page_header, page_data => $table_data, );
# Parse the template my $html_output = $template->output; return $html_output; }
I have "strict" and "warnings" on and no errors are generated.
