Hi Monk, I have a cgi perl script in which I have the following HTML form data embedded. Please let me know how can I retrieve the "StatusFilterSelect" value through cgi object
<form name="frmStatusFilter" method="GET" action="http://webserver.com
+:8010/cgi-bin/mycgi.pl">
Choose Filter:<select name="StatusFilterSelect" onChange="frmStatusFil
+ter.submit()">
<option>Show with status</option>
<option>Show all</option>
</select>
</form>
I am trying with the following, but not working
Please help. Thanks in advance.
my $q = new CGI;
my $status = $q->param('StatusFilterSelect');
$q->html("status is $status"); ## not showing any value
$status is not showing anything. Please assume I am not making any syntax error. Is this how to extract the value in chi perl. Is my approach right?

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).
