I wasn't able to post the actual code sooner because I didn't have my laptop where the code was. I know this post is a bit late, so I hope someone who knows more than me sees this.

sub build_evntype {
    my @event_entries;
    my @event_list=("Event1", "Event2");
    my $p_event = shift;
    for (my $i=0; $i<=$#event_list; $i++) {
        my $event_data={};
        $$event_data{"t_event"}=$event_list[$i];
        $$event_data{"n_event"}=$i+1;
        if ($i+1 == $p_event) {
            $$event_data{"sel"} = "selected";
        }
        push (@event_entries, $event_data);
    }
    return \@event_entries;
}

I am using the same type of code to build 6 other select lists in my template, and they all work fine.

To fix my problem, I didn't touch the code, I just changed the name of the TMPL_LOOP, and it worked. I agree that it doesn't make sense, I am only interpreting the information I have at hand.

Thanks for all your insight,
digger

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
