One option is to define a method in whatever Result class mydata_rs produces:
sub my_date_format {
my $self = shift;
return $self->date_field->mdy('/');
}
then in your template:
[% WHILE (row = mydata_rs.next); row.my_date_format ; END %]
or you can just call the datetime methods in the template:
[% WHILE (row = mydata_rs.next); row.my_date_field.ymd('/') ; END %]
