Problems with using Select
I am using mod_perl/embperl under windows. The problem that I am haveing
is that I have a combo box in which the options are generated from perl. I
select an item from the combobox. If I submit the page back to itself, the
value in %fdat is the first item in the combobox. If I submit to a
different page and place the selection on the url line, it is still set to
the first item in the combo box.
What am I doing wrong here? I have spent way to much time on this as it is.
...
Thanks

This maybe a windows specific problem, when you have a POST request, before
a GET request. Because of an bug in mod_perl sometimes environement
variables persists across requests, which cause Embperl to do the wrong
thing. A workaround is availabel in the current cvs version of Embperl.
You can test if you hit this problem, by doing a new start of Apache and
then _only_ performing GET requests. When it works in this case, you should
upgrade to the cvs version.
