I do something similar but I just pass one of 2 classes through with the 
hash to H::T.  So each row has a class like this,
<tr class="<tmpl_var name="CLASS">"><td></td></tr>


That way each row has a class defined either way be it odd or even and I 
can customize it all in CSS later.  In NS4 and crummier browsers you'd 
probably have to pass it to each <TD>

Of course this makes me have to figure odd and even rows out in the perl 
side but it also opens up to having more then 2 alternating row 
definitions if needed.

Having moved to Coldfusion shop I really miss all the separation that 
H::T forced you into.  It makes Templates so much easier to work with.
