OK. It's probably because every example I've seen uses apostrophes.

Thanks for pointing that out. I've got Lincoln Stein's book, but there isn't
an example of popup_menu using labels, only radio_group. It is mentioned
(upon closer inspection) in the same paragraph as radio_group, and in the
reference guide near the end of the book.

Here's the code I ran:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use CGI::Carp qw/fatalsToBrowser/;
my $x = '1 1/2';
print header, start_html("CGI Test");
print start_form();
print popup_menu(
-name=>'baths',
-values=>['0', '1', '1 1/2', '2'],
-default=>$x
);
print end_form();
print end_html;
I get a perfect result through Netscape. Here's the HTML:
<SELECT NAME="baths">
<OPTION VALUE="0">0
<OPTION VALUE="1">1
<OPTION SELECTED VALUE="1 1/2">1 1/2
<OPTION VALUE="2">2
</SELECT>
> Here's the output I got when I ran that code:

Of course I ran it before posting. I said I wasn't a pro, but I wouldn't
have posted if my code didn't work.
