drop-down menu issue.

[mark o' sullivan]

Hi,
Anyone know is it possible to get a string from a drop-down menu say form
is passed from one perl script to another. 
The way it is:

print "<select name=task>";
while(my ($task)= $sth->fetchrow_array)
{
   print "<option value=$task>$task</option>";
}
print "</select>";

but when I try to parse this on other side
$task = param("task");

I only get the first part of the task string read in from the drop-down
menu.
Example '$task' strings:
Caching the browser.
DSL to RSA conversion.

Any alternatives to param to read strings?
Thanks in advance,
Mark.
