Is this of any interest? HTML::Menu::Select

Use the menu() subroutine if you want to have a template like this:

<form>
  <TMPL_VAR select_menu>
  <input type="submit">
</form>

Use the options() subroutine if you want to have a template like this:

<form>
  <select>
    <TMPL_VAR select_menu>
  </select>
  <input type="submit">
</form>

You could use it something like this:

use CGI 'header';
use HTML::Template;
use HTML::Menu::Select 'menu';

my $tmpl = HTML::Template->new( ... );

my $select = menu(
  name     => 'response',
  values   => ['yes', 'no'],
  default  => 'yes',]
  onChange => 'alert(this.value);',
);


$tmpl->param( select_menu => $select );

print header();
print $tmpl->output;

See the docs for more info. The arguments are mostly compatable with CGI.pm's popup_menu routine (though I've just realised I haven't yet documented how they differ (todo!).

I've also upgraded HTML::Menu::DateTime to use this, so it can optionally generate the HTML rather than data structures.
Still on the to-do list though, is JS validation
