When HTML isn't done according to spec (and often when it is), how it's displayed in a browser depends on which browser you're using. My suspicion is that you're missing some sort of tag in here.

One thing that might be going wrong is that you don't have a <form> tag in your code anywhere (there's none in what you've posted). At any rate, the problem is *probably* not in the code you've posted, but somewhere else.

As for your methods ... well, you could turn it into a here document, but the popular CGI module makes generating option lists very simple for you. Here's some code that will produce your second list, nice n' easy. 

use CGI;
my $q = CGI->new();
my @options = 1..12;
print $q->scrolling_list(-name=>"score6",
             -values=>\@options,
                -size=>1
            );
