[Omaha.pm] Perl CGI, start_form(), and alt tags...

I may have found something that keeps the "button" appearance, but
allows the text to be copied and pasted: <button type=submit>Button
Name</button>
When that button is part of the copy-and-paste selection, the "Button
Name" is part of the text that is printed.
So, when my sample code is changed to this:
======= begin HTML =======
<table border=1>
<td>Omaha</td>
<td>
<form method="post" action="drilldown.cgi" alt="111">
<button type=submit>111</button>
</form>
</td>
<td>
<form method="post" action="drilldown.cgi" alt="222">
<button type=submit>222</button>
</form>
</td>
<td align=center>33.3%</td>
</tr>
</table>
======= end HTML =======
The resulting text that is copied is this:
Omaha 111 222 33.3%
Thanks for all the pointers!
