I am curious about this piece of your code:  filehandle => \*DATA.  What does this do?  The parts I understand are that you're setting up file handle, the "\" is a reference, and the "DATA" is referenced to the section below.  My guess would be that this is how you're passing the formatting stuff to the template.  Is that right?

A perl script can have a "data" section, anything that follows the __DATA__ tag in the script file. The part with \*DATA is a reference filehandle to that data section.  Its a nifty little trick that I use to test out templates in the same file as a script.

I'm glad you found a solution to your problem.
