This is the way I do this in a program I have. It handles the case that the first, i.e. blank value is selected when nothing is set beforehand...
### Execute the region query
$sth->execute()
or dienice("585 Couldn't execute statement: " . $sth->errstr);
print qq!<TR><TD ALIGN="RIGHT">SC region:<SELECT NAME="reg_name">!
+;
print qq!<OPTION VALUE=""!;
print qq! SELECTED! unless ($REG_NAME);
print qq!>ALL REGIONS</OPTION>!;
while (my @regions = $sth->fetchrow_array()) {
print qq!<OPTION VALUE="$regions[0]"!;
print qq! SELECTED! if ($regions[0] eq $REG_NAME);
print qq!>$regions[0]</OPTION>\n!;
}
print qq!</SELECT></TD></TR>!;
-- I'm a solipsist, and so is everyone else. (think about it)

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).
