[cgiapp] CGI.pm help



Is this the right mailing list to ask these kinds of questions?

I'm having problems with the popup_menu CGP.pm method.  I have it working with code that looks like this:

print $CGI->popup_menu(-name=>'menu_name',
            -values=>('eenie'=>'one',
                      'meenie'=>'two',
                      'minie'=>'three'));

wher CGI is the CGI.pm object created before with $CGI = new CGI;

The above works just fine.  Then, I tried to create a hash with the values I'm giving to popup_menu (which the books says I can do) with this code:

%menu_values = ('eenie'=>'one',
              'meenie'=>'two',
              'minie'=>'three');
print $CGI->popup_menu(-name=>'menu_name',
            -values=>%menu_values);

But when this is run from my web browser, I see the code it generates is:

<select name="menu_name" three="meenie" two>
<option value="eenie">eenie</option>
</select>

Which, of course, doesn't work.  What am I doing wrong?
