How to manipulate rows in returned resultset

For populating loops, I get the resultset from db, and assign it directly to the loop_var. This works wonderfully for most cases, except where there is a need to process each row before assigning it to the template. One particular case is where I am retrieving a resultset after a search query, and I need to highlight the text that was searched for.

Is there a way I can continue to use the 'single' assignment, and still achieve this objective?

Thanks,
Nishi

Here is some code snippet to explain it more:

my $data = &getDataFromDB;
$template->param(myLoopVar => $data);  #preferred way

#BUT, if I need to bold the 'search text', I need to iterate through the loop
my @loopData=();
foreach my $rec (@{$data}) {
  my %loopRow;
  $rec->{title} =~ s/(\b$searchText\b)/<b>$1<\/b>/ig;
  $loopRow{title} = $rec->{title};
  push @loopData, \%loopRow;
}
$template->param(myLoopVar => \@loopData);
