The first email (my time shows 8pm ++) was sent but it didn't turn up in my email client (on this mailing list, beginners@perl.org) and my hosting's webmail interface. After waited for 2 hours, then I sent again the second email (10 pm ++) and both turn up. I'm not sure why is it so.

But I think I'm quite satisfy with the current way of writing it as it kind of explain the hash relationship. e.g. [% PROCESS header %] Form <strong>List</strong> <p> <ul> [% FOREACH kar IN kars.values %] <li>[% kar.reg_no %], [% kar.brand %], [% kar.cc %]</li> [% END %] </ul> </p> [% PROCESS footer %] snip > I think you might be getting a bit confused here.

And I thought all array are list. At one point when I try to pass multiple row of array (query from DBI using $sth->fetchrow_array) from perl to TT, it some how does not work. Until I stumble on this working codes from Perl Mongers and turn it into hash, then only it works. I was hoping someone over here can show some codes on how to use $sth->fetchrow_arrayref to pass arrays (or array references?) to TT. snip > If you want to use the DBI directly within TT then you should look at > using the TT DBI plugin[2]. you may get more help on TT matter from > the TT list[3]. > Not going to use DBI within TT as my intention for TT is to solely deal with design issue and keep the codes within CGI.
