As Dave pointed out, you need to pass a reference to the array but if yo
have a large dataset, it may be more efficient to use the
Class::DBI::Iterator
# in scalar context returns an iterator
my $volumes = S::Volumes->retrieve_all;
my $vars = { volumes => $volumes };

[% WHILE (item = volumes.next) %]
* [% item %]
[% END %]

You could use Template::Plugin::Class[1] to give you direct access to the
Class::DBI objects
[% USE volumes = Class('S::Volumes') %]
[% FOREACH item IN volumes.retrieve_all %]
* [% item %]
[% END %]
In fact the docs for the module describe doing exactly that :-)
HTH,
