This is my first project using Perl and HTML::Template, and my first posting to this users list (after searching http://www.bluedot.net/mail/archive/ for things like "totals" and "total row" and "subtotal").
I'm trying to figure out how to insert subtotals periodically and to calculate differences between two rows. For example, this is a mock up similar to what I'm doing (mine is more complex):
accounts curr month year-to-date
10-19 $xxx $xxx
20-29 $xxx $xxx
30-39 $xxx $xxx
sub1 10-39 $xxxxx $xxxxx
40-49 $xxx $xxx
50-59 $xxx $xxx
sub2 40-59 $xxxx $xxxx
grand total $xxxxx $xxxxx
diff b/w sub1 & sub 2 $xxx $xxx
Right now, I'm using several case statements in my Sybase SQL and several unions (which I know is pretty ugly)... but if I could get HTML::Template and Perl to play nicely together and let me generate occasional subtotals along the way (or differences as the case may be), that would be great. Does HTML::Template have a way to do this? I have the H:T documentation printed out (because I refer to it so often), and I'm wondering if a TMPL_IF might be the answer. But, I can't wrap my brain around how I could use it for subtotalling and differences.
Oh, and feel free to dumb it down for me since I'm new to Perl, SQL, [insert language here]. ;-)
Thanks!

P.S. I didn't include my Perl code because I wasn't sure if it would be necessary (and it's 600+ lines), but for the masochists among you, you can see it here along with the .tmpl file: http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=108949&user=Lori713. The .tmpl file is also included below:
