get item in drop down box

[angelblade27]

I'm new to perl. i want to submit a form according to a value of in a drop down box. how would i submit the form with a value from a drop down box?

I don't understand your question. You want to submit some form data using perl? Or you want to parse data sent by a form to a perl script?

The form has some drop down lists containing values (say green,blue,orange)and i want to submit the form with the option green being picked

 

[KevinADC]

That has nothing to do with perl unless you are wanting to use perl to send the data. Clarify your question.

Yes i want perl to send the data.
