## PARAMETERS

*options*

Arrayref with the options to select from. This is what the user sees.

*datasrc*

Name of an class which provides the values for the values and options parameters. Either a full package name or a name, in which case all packages which are returned by Embperl::Form::get\_datasrc\_packages are searched. Everything after '#' is ignored and can be used by the DataSource module to do further selections.
