in thread How to keep the state of a drop down select box in perl

for things like: 
<select name="dropdown">
  <option>Option 1</option>
  <option>Option 2</option>
  <option>Option 3</option>
</select>

I usually use map: 
my @options = ( 'Option 1', 'Option 2', 'Option 3', );
@options = map { "<option>$_</option>" } @options;
print '<select name="dropdown">', @options, "</select>\n";

    Yes, but... that doesn't actually output a selected option! :) The question was on how to keep the state of a dropdown box. I guess mine doesn't work either since I am only counting on a single select dropdown, and just looking over it occured to me that it would break under a multiple select.

    eeeek!
