I take it back, what seems to be happing is that the
first item in the select box is identified as selected. If
I select a different item in the list, the first one is always selected.
This gets stranger by the minute.

I think I might have this figured out.
in my combobox, I had the following:
<select name="cmbProgramKey" id="cmbProgramKey"
onChange="cmbProgramKey_OnChange(this.value)">
<option value=""> ( None Selected ) </option>
[$ while( $rProgramArray ) $]
<option value="[+ $$rProgramArray[0] +]">[+
$$rProgramArray[1] +]</option>
[- $rProgramArray = $sthProgram->fetchrow_arrayref(); -]
[$ endwhile $]
</select>
Now when I remove the first option value: <option value=""> ( None Selected
) </option>
and end up with
<select name="cmbProgramKey" id="cmbProgramKey"
onChange="cmbProgramKey_OnChange(this.value)">
[$ while( $rProgramArray ) $]
<option value="[+ $$rProgramArray[0] +]">[+
$$rProgramArray[1] +]</option>
[- $rProgramArray = $sthProgram->fetchrow_arrayref(); -]
[$ endwhile $]
</select>
things seem to work.
Now the question is why?

lets see if I can clearify my statement.
first I am new to mod_perl.
Now, my form is using post. I am using some debug messages
that will output, in html format, the contents of $fdat. So,
when I select next page, after making a selection from the combo
box, i expected to see something like the following:
fdat{cmbClientKey} = <something>
I do not get this unless I have the items I posted in the previous
message.

I'm not sure I understand your question, David. If you're saying that you
would expect the result of pressing a submit button in a form to be that
request is sent like 'http://some.host/file.pl?combo=value', then you need
to ensure that the form in your HTML is set to GET rather than POST style
encoding. But that's not really a mod_perl issue...
