i have a script to take the input from 13 drop down boxes of team names and 13 boxes of their scores over a competition tree. if the same teamname is entered then the respective score variables updates the score where that team is in the database. i set up a hash to hold the variables and it seems like there are no values being passed to the variables. the code for the html source for a pair of variables is below. 

print "<td width=\"9%\"><b><P align=center><SELECT name=team1 size=1>\
+n";
print "<OPTION selected>$list_of_teamdata[0][1]</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>Business School</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>Admin/Estates</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>CEAC </OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>Civ Eng</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>Combined Honours</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>CSAM</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>EEAP</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>MechEng</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>ModLang</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>Vision Sciences</OPTION>\n";
print "<OPTION>Pharmacy</OPTION>\n";
print "&nbsp;</SELECT>\n";
print "</P>\n";
print "</td>\n";
print "</b>\n";
print "<td width=\"9%\"><b><P align=center><SELECT name=score1 size=1>
+\n";
print "<OPTION selected>$list_of_teamdata[0][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";
print "</td>\n";
print "</b>\n";
