It's really not as much a perl as it a html/forms question... but whatever... essentially a drop down box in a html form will return to the data to the user as ElementName=Value of selected Item. You would have to check how multi select boxes work, but it's probably comma delimited or similar (that or it essentially posts the field multiple times and sets a unique value for each instance). E.g. <form action="Contact.pl" method=POST> <select name="DropDown"> <option value="a">Option A</option> <option value="b">Option B</option> </select> </form> Then on Post, you would have a "variable" called DropDown which would contain either a or b depending on what was selected. Make sense?
