in reply to How do I order a hash for use as a %label list in cgi.pm?
CREATING A POPUP MENU print $query->popup_menu('menu_name', ['eenie','meenie','minie'], 'meenie'); -or- %labels = ('eenie'=>'your first choice', 'meenie'=>'your second choice', 'minie'=>'your third choice'); print $query->popup_menu('menu_name', ['eenie','meenie','minie'], 'meenie',\%labels); -or (named parameter style)- print $query->popup_menu(-name=>'menu_name', -values=>['eenie','meenie','minie'] +, -default=>'meenie', -labels=>\%labels); popup_menu() creates a menu. 1. The required first argument is the menu's name (-name). 2. The required second argument (-values) is an array reference containing the list of menu items in the menu. You can pass the method an anonymous array, as shown in the example, or a reference to a named array, such as "\@foo". 3. The optional third parameter (-default) is the name of the default menu choice. If not specified, the first item will be the default. The values of the previous choice will be maintained across queries. 4. The optional fourth parameter (-labels) is provided for people who want to use different values for the user-visible label inside the popup menu nd the value returned to your script. It's a pointer to an asso- ciative array relating menu values to user-visible labels. If you leave this parameter blank, the menu values will be displayed by default. (You can also leave a label undefined if you want to).
