Yes, a duplicate...Sorry

I would consider the wonders of the TMPL_LOOP command, and let off the CGI.pm HTML-building bits. One I started using HTML::Template, I decided to simply build my HTML in the standard fashion, and let the Template functions fill in the dynamic data, and the work went much smoother. The Template would be something (very) roughly like (Prototype Template code!): 
<select name="MinDuration">
<TMPL_LOOP NAME="Options">
<option value=<TMPL_VAR NAME="value"><TMPL_IF NAME="value"> selected</
+TMPL_IF>> <TMPL_VAR NAME="text">
</TMPL_LOOP>

And in the perl code (prototype again): 

$my_template->param( Options => [
                        {value => '0', text => 'any'},
                        {value => '1', text => 'one day},
                        #etc...
                    ]
);

See the HTML::Template documentation for more information on this, naturally.
