huh? If you (SELECT foo, bar, FROM db) returned will be a ref to the
values of foo & bar for each row that your querry matched.



Have you looked at the 'bind columns' method? (untested):

my $sth = $dbh->prepare( qq{ SELECT foo, bar FROM db WHERE [blah...] })
    or die [blah...] ;
    
$sth->execute()
    or die [blah...] ;
    
$sth->bind_columns(undef, \my($foo, $bar,))
    or die [blah...];
    
$sth->fetch;

#Now feel free to use $foo and $bar

$template->param(foo    => $foo,
                 bar    => $bar);




#For loops something like:

my @loop;

while(my $data = $sth->fetch) {

    my %row = ( foo     => $foo,
                bar => $bar, );
    push (@loop, \%row);
    
}
    
$template->param(stuff  => \@loop,);
