[htmltmpl] looping through a subset of data?

[Boon C. <was...@ya...>]

 Another newbie question about HTML::Template.
  
  Is there a way to output only a subset of a loop variable?
  For instance, let's say I have a template var that is a reference to  array of hashes of  X elements (essentially a recordset with X  rows of data), is it possible to output just the first N rows while  looping through it?
  
  e.g.
  
  <tmpl_loop employee_loop>
    <tmpl_var lastname>,   <tmpl_var firstname>  <-- I just want the first N employees
  </tmpl_loop>
  
  I guess the main problem  I am having is that I am not able to set  any loop counter in the template to stop it at the right time (which is  probably a design choice after all).
