Q: What's the best way to create a <select> form element using
HTML::Template?

A: There is much disagreement on this issue.  My personal preference
is to use CGI.pm's excellent popup_menu() and scrolling_list()
functions to fill in a single <tmpl_var select_foo> variable.  

To some people this smacks of mixing HTML and code in a way that they
hoped HTML::Template would help them avoid.  To them I'd say that HTML
is a violation of the principle of separating design from programming.
There's no clear separation between the programmatic elements of the
<form> tags and the layout of the <form> tags.  You'll have to draw
the line somewhere - clearly the designer can't be entirely in charge
of form creation.
