[html-formfu] Populating $form_input with 'select' element options?

Hello,
I'm trying to understand the data-structure required to populate a
form with 'select' element values (options).
When I dump (Data::Dumper) the FormFu object, I see that the structure
looks similar to the following:
'name' => 'EmailDL',
'_options' => [
{
'label_attributes' => {},
'value' => 'm',
'container_attributes' => {},
'label' => 'Male',
'attributes' => {}
},
{
'label_attributes' => {},
'value' => 'f',
'container_attributes' => {},
'label' => 'Female',
'attributes' => {}
}
],
Seeing this, I figured that the way to structure $form_input (being
that $form_input = \%cgivars) would be something like the following:
'Firstname' => 'Faisal',
'EmailDL' => [
{
'value' => 'myvalue',
'label' => 'mylabel'
}
],
However this doesn't seem to work. I've found that structuring
$form_input correctly, and then issuing a
$fu->default_values($form_input) to be simple and effective, except in
this instance when I'm trying to include the select/options
sub-structure.
So the question is: How should I structure 'EmailDL' above to
correctly populate 'select' options when doing
$fu->default_values($form_input) or $fu->process($form_input) ?
Thanks in advance,
-Bobby
Any guidance on this would be appreciated, thanks!
