I think the problem may be with your naming scheme. As opposed to naming the select box something like "input", try naming it:
input[]; For the full example: <form> <select NAME="input[]" SIZE=3 MULTIPLE> <option VALUE="opt1">option1 <option VALUE="opt2">option2 <option SELECTED VALUE="opt3">option3 </select> </form>
And then when it gets to your Perl script, you can treat it as an array. Otherwise, your Perl script really does only see it as one value.

UPDATE Okay, maybe it's time to kick myself for having a PHP background before I came around to the Perl world :-)

However, what would the proper method be in this scenerio -- If I used HTML::Template to build my template, and CGI.pm to process them.. in that case, what would be the proper thing to name the SELECT element?
a. <select name="myname" multiple> b. <select name="myname[]" multiple>
Thanks! :-)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
