I want to set the default value for a scolling list using the contents of an array. I know this should be an easy matter of passing an array ref but it has me flumoxed. When I pass an array with more than 1 value the below code does not work. When I take out the -default altogether a default value still gets set but again only if the country param has one value. Even when I hard code in arrays with more than one value i.e ['gb','ie'] it don't work unless my script is passed 0 params <\p> This is so weird I think I'm doing something really stupid. I'm using CGI::Application and HTML:: Template if it makes any differance. 

 
  my $q = $self->query();
  my @countrys=$q->param('country');
  &CGI::scrolling_list(
       -name   =>'country',
       -values=>[@CountryCodes],
       -default=>[@countrys], #fix
       -size=>5,
    -multiple=>'true',
    -labels=>$hashref
    );
