DBD Sysbase and CGI $q->popup_menu problem

[Vasquez, Mike]

~sdpm~
The second part you listed belowed

Also, now that I got this to work and also the default value to work in the
drop down menu. I'm trying to figure out when you click and change the
default value to another value, which way would be the best to approach this
and also I will need to update the table in the database as well.

If you look you'l see the reason you are getting a long list instead of a
drop down list is because of the way you are constructing your
"list".  It's actually not a list but a single string with all the values
of @fullnames in it.  This should work:

$q->td($q->popup_menu(-name=>'engr',-value=>[@fullnames]));
 - or -
$q->td($q->popup_menu(-name=>'engr',-value=>\@fullnames));
