How do I get a parameter's value from a CGI Perl app?

Question

I am trying to get value from a form. My HTML is as below:

<select name="new_id" ><option value="464">464</option></select>

I am trying to get the value using:

my $clientId2 = param('new_id');

But I am getting $clientId2 as empty. Its working for all other tag except this one.

Are you using `use strict; use warnings;`? If not, add them and see what happens. And also add the code where you check what value is in your variable, and copy/paste the code, don't write it. — TLP, Feb 26 '13 at 23:49
Typically, you'd use list context for multi-valued elements, like checkboxes; see what happens if you explicitly use the `checked` attribute. — fenway, Feb 27 '13 at 06:48

Disabled controls aren't sent when a form is submitted.
