You should really read the excellent Text::Template documentation.  It provides
multiple examples.  Like:

   Here is a list of the things I have got for you since 1907:
   { my $blist = '';
     foreach $i (@items) {
       $blist .= qq{  * $i\n};
     }
     $blist;
   }

That will do what you want, for creating data from a loop and outputting it.
That can also be done with $OUT.

You could also continue printing, but first "select" the handle to which you
want to output.  I do not advise doing this, because you will almost certainly
bite yourself.

s/print /$OUT .=/g;
