Hi Adrian,
I've cc'd you directly as I'm a bit late to this thread - apologies if
you've already fixed it.

You don't specify what "fine" is - I'm inferring from your later comment
that you don't want the whole list displayed.

Here is your problem - it's not PERL, but the HTML. For multiple select
boxes, NN will display as many items as are in the list, unless you
specify the "size" attribute. So, for a list of one, you want <SELECT
NAME=CATEGORY MULTIPLE=4 SIZE=1> and for a list of 10, you'd want
<SELECT NAME=CATEGORY MULTIPLE=4 SIZE=10>.

Make sure the setting for "check page every time" is set (somewhere in
Prefs, Advanced, Cache, IIRR). To force a reload, hold down the shift
key, while pressing the reload button.
HTH,
