I have a different take on this topic. My problem is I want to alter a form dynamically based on SQL calls.
Basically I have a form that is more or less static. But I have a few things that make it complicated. I can write it in PHP no problem but need to make it Perl.
1. form action contains a Perl generated variable (ie index.htm?id=$id)
2. large dropdown list (40+ items) that, based on the status in SQL, make certain items 'selected'
I can try to clarify if this is unclear...
