Hi All,
I wrote a piece of code which works fine when included in script.
But behaves differently when I put in the subroutine. The code in the script and in sub routine follows:
my($Records);
 foreach $Records(@EventList)
{
    if($Records =~ /(.*)(\,)(.*)/)
    {        
            if($Records ne $eventChoice){
                        print   "<option value='$Records'>$3</option>\
+n";
                        }

    }
}

&PopulateEventDropDown(@EventList,$eventChoice);

sub PopulateEventDropDown
{
    my($Records);
    my $eventChoice = shift;
    my @Records = @_;

    foreach $Records(@Records)
    {
        if($Records =~ /(.*)(\,)(.*)/)
        {      if($Records ne $eventChoice)
                    {
                        print "<option value='$Records'>$3</option>\n"
+;
                        } 
                }
    } #end foreach
}

Here on the script option values are printed correctly without $eventChoice values.
But when called from the subroutine it prints the $eventChoice as usual and also adds it to the end.
What is the worng with the code.

Thanks
