I've uploaded a new module, HTML::Menu::DateTime, to CPAN.
It's purpose is to create HTML SELECT menus, using HTML::Template or Template.
The menus can have items pre-selected using a range of database datetime strings.

The distribution includes both HTML::Template and Template template files suitable for use with the templating system's INCLUDE directive.

Example program

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI ':standard';
use HTML::Menu::DateTime;
use HTML::Template;

my $template = HTML::Template->new (filename => 'date.tmpl');

my $menu = HTML::Menu::DateTime->new (date => '2004-09-28');

$template->param (day   => $menu->day_menu,
                  month => $menu->month_menu,
                  year  => $menu->year_menu);

print header(),
print $template->output;

The date.tmpl template file

<html>
<body>
  <form method="POST" action="">
    <TMPL_INCLUDE day.tmpl>
    <TMPL_INCLUDE month.tmpl>
    <TMPL_INCLUDE year.tmpl>
    <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
  </form>
</body>
</html>

I've listed a couple of to-do's in the 'feature requests' in the project's homepage at http://sourceforge.net/projects/html-menu/.

Feedback welcome.
