Thanks, the ino on the reference got my simple example working. Now I'm working on the more complex version where I have:

%OS_APP_NAME = (
        'AA'  => 'HP-UX',
        'AB'  => 'SunOS',
        'AD'  => 'Linux',
        'AJ'  => 'Windows 2000',
        'AK'  => 'Apache',
        'AM'  => 'IIS',
        'AP'  => 'VMware',
        'AR'  => 'Windows 2003',
        'E'   => 'AIX',
        'MC'  => 'ControlM',
        'QD'  => 'DYNIX',
        'X'   => 'Tandem'
);

to create the hash, and this to use it:

 $CGI->popup_menu(-name=>'TECH_SPEC_ID',
                  -values=>\%OS_APP_NAME);

When I run this, it does not generate a select at all, and I get no errors from PERL. In the perl debugger, I can stop it on this line and print the hash to verify it was built properly. Does anybody see a problem?
