When testing this state.txt, I noticed that the "header" records for
the UK are not appearing when using the state_select and
country_select widgets.

In the UK:
-- England --
-- Scotland --
-- Wales --
-- Nth Ireland --

only the first entry "-- England --" will appear in the state_select
widget.  For each of these entries (plus the "N/A" record) the state
field is blank, and it appears that country_select is removing
duplicates.

for(keys %states) {
    my $sa = $states{$_};
    my @sv;
    my @st;
    my %seen;
    @$sa = grep !$seen{$_->[0]}++, @$sa;

I was going to make a small change to this so that duplicates are
allowed if the state was blank, but I was just wondering if there were
any other solutions?  Lyn, do you use the standard "country_select"
and "state_select" widgets with your state.txt file?

Thanks -
Dan
