this code: 

my $TYPE_QUERY = qq!SELECT APPT_TYPE||'|'||INFO_NEEDED FROM SC_APPT_TY
+PE!;

my $sth = $dbh->prepare("$TYPE_QUERY")
or dienice("709 Couldn't prepare statement: " . $dbh->errstr);

$sth->execute()
or dienice("713 Couldn't execute statement: " . $sth->errstr);

while (my @types = $sth->fetchrow_array()) {
    foreach my $types (@types) {
        chomp($types);
        my ($info, $type)    = split "|", $types;
        print qq!<OPTION VALUE="$type_$info">$type</OPTION>\n!;
    }
