As long as you're looking for 1733+ code, I'll add this one. I'm not intending to slight your code - it looks fine. It also is very reminiscent of C (and thus C++, Java, etc.). Here is one that is more perlish insofaras it's more unique to Perl:

for my $y ($year .. $year + 8) { # this is inclusive
  print "<option value = '$y'>$y</option>\n";
}
[download]

Or, even more perlishly:

print "<option value = '$_'>$_</option>\n"
  for $year .. $year + 8;
[download]

I prefer the first one in this case - the print is too long, forcing the for off the side of the screen or, as I did, on to the next line. IMO, it breaks the flow. I often use these modifiers at the end of the line, but just feel this one is less desirable.

As to typing the year: I understand why some people prefer the drop-down. But, for me, I wish those people would shut up. I'd prefer the typing, too.
