REPLY do work with select statement but it will point to the increment number of the chosen value (as is appears in the menu built by the select).

To understand, you can run this code :

Code:
echo "Flower choice:"
PS3="Choose your favourite flower from these possibilities: "
select FLOWER in rose sunflower cornflower lily
do
echo "REPLY=$REPLY FLOWER=$FLOWER"
[[ -z "$FLOWER" ]] && break
done

NAME
POE::Test::Loops - Reusable tests for POE::Loop authors SYNOPSIS
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Getopt::Long; use POE::Test::Loops; my ($dir_base, $flag_help, @loop_modules, $flag_verbose); my $result = GetOptions( 'dirbase=s' => $dir_base, 'loop=s' => @loop_modules, 'verbose' => $flag_verbose, 'help' => $flag_help, ); if ( !$result or !$dir_base or $flag_help or !@loop_modules ) { die( "$0 usage: ", " --dirbase DIR (required) base directory for tests ", " --loop MODULE (required) loop modules to test ", " --verbose show some extra output ", " --help you're reading it ", ); } POE::Test::Loops::generate($dir_base, @loop_modules, $flag_verbose); exit 0; DESCRIPTION
POE::Test::Loops contains one function, generate(), which will generate all the loop tests for one or more POE::Loop subclasses. The "SYNOPSIS" example is a version of poe-gen-tests, which is a stand-alone utility to generate the actual tests. poe-gen-tests also documents the POE::Test::Loops system in more detail. FUNCTIONS
generate( $DIRBASE, @LOOPS, $VERBOSE ) Generates the loop tests. DIRBASE is the (relative) directory in which a subdirectory for each of the LOOPS is created. If VERBOSE is set to a TRUE value some progress reporting is printed. POE::Test::Loops::generate( "./t", [ "POE::Loop::Yours" ], 1, ); SEE ALSO
