Data is only moved from template into CGI files through a form
submission. You can access the related CGI object in the CGI via
Bugzilla->cgi, though it normally is already set to a local $cgi
attribute. It's then a matter of grabbing $cgi->param("foo") to get the
related form fields ("foo" being whatever you set the form element's
name attribute to).

Data is moved from CGI files into the template via the $vars hash which
is provided to $template->process(). I guess you've managed to do that
given that you've been able to see customers listed in your generated
HTML..

Take care,
