Please reformat your post. `print popup_menu( -name=>'title' -values=>\@titlelist )` [download] Is that your exact code? There's a comma missing between `'title'` and `-values`. You do have `strict` and `warnings` enabled, don't you? --shmem _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo. G°\ / /\_¯/(q / ---------------------------- \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."· ");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Does the html look ok if you run your code from the command line? Does chomping your input make any difference? Do you know that `print popup_menu( -name=>'title' -values=>\@titlelist )` is missing a comma?	[reply] [d/l]

i'll ry to make it simpler then: Than what?!? /me answers to hisself: you can't barely copy and paste a clpmisc post taking it out of the context of the thread it's part of. It is plainly annoying. As it is the fact that you continue not to include any reference about the fact that you're doing so. You wrote you would. But you don't. Hence you're a liar. And an irrespectful person, since you also wrote that you would have been more careful when writing your posts. You aren't. They continue to be a pita to read notwithstanding the fact that people told you they are. Hence you're doubly a liar, and intentionally being a pita.	[reply]
