Hi guys, I have have a perl page that I want to generate an html drop down list box. The data in the list box comes from an oracle database. I am using oraperl to try and do this. Each line of the list box needs to be each line(row) of the data coming from the database table. There are four fields in each line(row) of the database table. My question is what is the best way to go about doing this? I have been trying to play with the fetch command like this: 
sub make_list
{
  $sql  = "select * \n";
  $sql .= "from e1_attrib_type \n";
  
  $cur = &ora_open($lda, $sql);
     while ( (@d) = &ora_fetch($cur)) {
     @ln[$i] = $d[$i];
     }
  &ora_close($cur);
  return( @ln );
}

but obviously this is not right :-) I can't sem to think of the right way to go about generating this list box. Thanks for your help guys..
