Question

I’m attempting to print fields in a form depending on the iteration using CGI. Is it possible to nest a for loop within a CGI print statement like so? I keep getting a syntax error on the for loop line…

print $survey->Tr(
            $survey-td(
                $survey->startform(name=>'survey', method => 'POST', action => 'survey.cgi'),
                for ($i=0; $i < $size; $i++){
                    $survey->hidden(name=>"q$i", value => "currentQ[q$i]"),
                    $survey->submit(name=>'direction', value =>'Previous'),
                    $survey->endform(),
                }
                $survey->startform(name=>'survey', method=>'POST', action=>'survey.pl.cgi'),
                $survey->submit(name=>'direction', value =>'Next'),
            ),
        ),

No. Instead you should push all the items on to an array (in advance of creating the parent element) and then pass the array as the argument.
