I am using $Cgi->popup_menu and reading values from a text file. This worked well until recently on updated cpanel versions (with presumingly updated CGI.pm): 
$Cgi->popup_menu("convert_links_to_friendly", \@label,
$CONFIG{convert_links_to_friendly}, \%LABEL);

If $CONFIG{convert_links_to_friendly} is 1, it still works well: 
<select name="convert_links_to_friendly" >
<option selected="selected" value="1">Yes</option>
<option value="0">No</option>
</select>

however if $CONFIG{convert_links_to_friendly} is 0, now it prints: 

<select name="convert_links_to_friendly">
<option value="1">Yes</option>
<option value="0">No</option>
</select>

while I need it to print (which is still working OK on older servers but not working OK on recently updated cpanel servers since 2-3 months): 
<select name="convert_links_to_friendly">
<option value="1">Yes</option>
<option selected="selected" value="0">No</option>
</select>

Do you have any ideas on what could have caused this behaviour?
