That's a pretty painful way to populate it.  Especially if there's a
schema change or something.  You could put something right in the
mason page.

% my $UsersObj = RT::Users->new( $RT::SystemUser ); 
% $UsersObj->LimitToEnabled;  
% $UsersObj->LimitToPrivileged;  
% while ( my $CurUserObj = $UsersObj->Next ) { 
    < your html tags ><% $CurUserObj->Name %> < / your html tags >
% }

Then it's live information, not something prepopulated.
