i'm trying to print an option box but when it prints it just prints all the values out in a line instead of printing the option box structure. the code is 
print "<table border=1> \n"; 
print "<tr>\n";
print "<td width=\"9%\">&nbsp;</td>\n";
print "<td width=\"9%\">&nbsp;</td>\n";
print "<td width=\"9%\">image3</td>\n";
print "<td width=\"9%\">&nbsp;</td>\n";
print "<td width=\"9%\">&nbsp;</td>\n";
print "<td width=\"9%\">&nbsp;</td>\n";
print "<td width=\"9%\">&nbsp;</td>\n";
print "<td width=\"9%\">&nbsp;</td>\n";
print "<td width=\"9%\">&nbsp;</td>\n";
print "<td width=\"9%\">&nbsp;</td>\n";
print "<td width=\"10%\">&nbsp;</td>\n";
print "</tr>\n";
print "<tr>\n";
print "<td width=\"9%\"><b><P align=center><SELECT name=Team6 size=1>\
+n";
print "<OPTION selected>$list_of_teamdata[5][1]</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>Business School</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>Admin/Estates</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>CEAC </OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>Civ Eng</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>Combined Honours</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>CSAM</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>EEAP</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>MechEng</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>ModLang</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>Vision Sciences</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>Pharmacy</OPTION>\n";
print "&nbsp;</SELECT>\n";
print "</P>\n";
print "</td>\n";
print "</b>\n";
print "<td width=\"9%\"><b><P align=center><SELECT name=score6 size=1>
+\n";
print "<OPTION selected value>$list_of_teamdata[5][2]</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>0</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>1</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>2</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>3</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>4</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>5</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>6</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>7</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>8</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>9</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>10</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>11</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>12</OPTION>\n";
print "&nbsp;</SELECT>\n";
print "</P>\n";
