in reply to autoredirect drop down box to perl files

I'm not quite sure what you're asking for...here's two possible takes on it.

1) You want to use a SINGLE perl script 'prog2.pl' and have it receive the current value of the select list.

All you need to do is add a 'action="prog2.pl"' to the FORM tag. And then add a <input type=submit value="go"> tag to the bottom of the form.

2) You want to use a different Perl script for each value in the select list.

This one is a bit trickier. You're going to have to use a bit of javascript to set the 'action' tag in the form accordingly when the selection list changes.

I suspect you mean the former and not the later... :) HTH
