: 1. The Submit button needs clicking twice after selection
The first time the script through the 'select' field is empty
and '' is passed into the form 'action' attribute. CGI.pm changes
this to the name of this script.
If '5' were chosen, the second time through the script the
'select' field is '5' and '/cgi-bin/finance.pl' is passed into
the form 'action' attribute.
You can remedy this by calling '/cgi-bin/finance.pl' from
the script rather then printing the form and then going to the
chosen script.
A better solution might include modules instead of scripts.
: 2. Only one value can be chosen, to choose another the form
: must be reloaded from scratch (ie: reload button does not
: work, only go etc)
That sounds like a browser caching problem. Search the CGI.pm
docs for 'cache' for details. You can also add a reset button for
the form.
