Please rethink your use of quotes. As far as I can see you are forcing Perl to look through each string for possible variable interpolation.
I really gonna wonder if
print '<option> Compliment </option>'; # why omit the closing tag?
# use this for pretty output
print '<option> Compliment </option>' . "\n";
# or even like this
use constant CRLF = "\n";
# ...
print '<option> Compliment </option>' . CRLF ;
# or use CGI::Pretty
would lead to strange results as well as your
print "<option> Compliment";
At least the first one should run faster :-) Do you have any subs declared matching the one or the other "name" in your output strings? Do you, worst I could think of, have a filehandle called OPTION?
Have a nice day
All decision is left to your taste

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).

are good places to start.
