Hello Monks,

In the below code I am checking the value and printing other values if it matches,it works fine from the second array value,
if it matches the first element still it prints .
I tried testing it outside it works perfectly.
print <<EOP;
        <td width="15%"><B>Event:</B></td>
        <td width="40%"><select name="Event" size="3" multiple> 
EOP
if($eventChoice ne "999999"){
    if($eventChoice =~ /(.*)(\,)(.*)/) {
print   "<option value='$eventChoice' selected >$3</option>\n";
        }
print "<option value='999999' >All Events</option>\n";
push @EventList,$eventChoice;
&PopulateEventDropDown(@EventList);     # EventList with eventchoice
} else {
                    print   "<option value='999999' selected>All Event
+s</option>\n";
                    &PopulateBasicDropDown(@EventList);    # Default E
+ventList
                }
        print <<EOP;
        </select>
sub PopulateEventDropDown
{
    my($Records);
    my @Records = @_;
    my $eventChoice = pop @Records;

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

}
