=head1 NAME

Apache::Wyrd::Loop - Loop through SQL query results

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    <BASENAME::Loop query="select name from contact">
      <P>$:name</P>
    </BASENAME::Loop>

    <BASENAME::Loop
     query="select name from contact where name is like 'S%'">
      <b>$:name</b>
    </BASENAME::Loop>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Loop performs a given query and iterates through the result of the query,
C<set>-ting the enclosed text for each query item and concatinating the
results together.  Unlike normal Wyrds, however, the enclosed text is NOT
interpreted prior to this treatment, allowing Wyrds to be included in this
template.

=head2 HTML ATTRIBUTES

=item query
