Can HTML::Template do subtotals?

This is my first project using Perl and HTML::Template, and my first posting to this users list (after searching http://www.bluedot.net/mail/archive/ for things like "totals" and "total row" and "subtotal").  

 

I'm trying to figure out how to insert subtotals periodically and to calculate differences between two rows.  For example, this is a mock up similar to what I'm doing (mine is more complex):

 

accounts              curr month    year-to-date

10-19                       $xxx            $xxx

20-29                       $xxx            $xxx

30-39                       $xxx            $xxx

sub1 10-39                $xxxxx          $xxxxx

40-49                       $xxx            $xxx

50-59                       $xxx            $xxx

sub2 40-59                 $xxxx           $xxxx

grand total               $xxxxx          $xxxxx

diff b/w sub1 & sub 2       $xxx            $xxx

 

Right now, I'm using several case statements in my Sybase SQL and several unions (which I know is pretty ugly)...  but if I could get HTML::Template and Perl to play nicely together and let me generate occasional subtotals along the way (or differences as the case may be), that would be great.  Does HTML::Template have a way to do this?  I have the H:T documentation printed out (because I refer to it so often), and I'm wondering if a TMPL_IF might be the answer.  But, I can't wrap my brain around how I could use it for subtotalling and differences.

 

Oh, and feel free to dumb it down for me since I'm new to Perl, SQL, [insert language here].  ;-)

 

Thanks!

P.S.  I didn't include my Perl code because I wasn't sure if it would be necessary (and it's 600+ lines), but for the masochists among you, you can see it here along with the .tmpl file:  http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=108949&user=Lori713.  The .tmpl file is also included below:
