Hello, World!
I'm an amateur programmer trying to convert some of my old BASIC
programs to run in a browser so people don't have to download and
install software. I'm having a problem with my current project because
CGI.pm is generating some funny code when I try to evoke a scrolling
list box.
Here's the relevant evocation:
print scrolling_list(-name => 'choose',-values=>@terms,-size=>254);
The HTML code output should look something like this:
<SELECT NAME="choose" SIZE="254">
<OPTION> abreaction
<OPTION> abstract thinking
<OPTION> acalculia
.
.
.
<OPTION> word salad
<OPTION> xenophobia
<OPTION> zoophobia
</SELECT>
What I'm actually getting follows:
<select name="choose" size="254" delusion
="delusion of control " declarative memory

="seizure " olfactory hallucination

This produces a list box with only one term visible. Am I doing
something wrong with CGI.pm or is there a glitch in it?
Thanks!
