This is quickly becoming my favorite idiom for creating CGI::scrolling_list (and other form elements ), but I'm wondering if it can be shortened any further?

Essentially, I need a sorted-by-name display. It's not a *major* concern ATM, but I can see those 2 hashes getting large eventually ... 


   my $sth = $dbh->prepare( "SELECT id, display_name FROM membership "
+ );
   my $rawMembers = $dbh->selectall_arrayref( $sth, { Slice => {} } );
   my %memberOpts = map { $_->{id} => $_->{display_name} } @$rawMember
+s;
   my %memberLookup = reverse %memberOpts;

   my $memberWidget = $q->scrolling_list( 
                            -name => 'memberships',
                            -values => [ @memberLookup{ sort keys %mem
+berLookup } ],
                            -labels => \%memberOpts,
                            -default => [],
                            -multiple => 1,
                            -size => 5,
                           );

After I create these little widgets, they're passed off to HTML_TEMPLATE ... i'm more wondering if anyone sees a way to ditch the second copy of the hash.

In reply to creating CGI::scrolling_list ... can this be shortened? by geektron
