"... without refreshing page" seems to indicate that you are looking for information on how to do Ajax Programming. Perl can help with that : CGI::Ajax. What is the sound of Perl? Is it not the sound of a wall that people have stopped banging their heads against? -Larry Wall, 1992	[reply]

If you're talking about using CGI don't use it to create HTML/JS, use a templating system (HTML::Template/Template). A small step up would be to use a framework like Dancer or CGI::Application. If you need to look up the values of the drop down boxes based on some server side operation (get values from a database) use AJAX, otherwise use plain JavaScript.	[reply]

I've read your question several times and I can't figure out what you're wanting to accomplish. Please post your code and explain what you expect it to do and how it's failing to meet your expectations. Before your next posting, you should read and follow the advice given here. How do I post a question effectively?	[reply]

This one is a bit less complicated than the tutorial linked by marto, CGI/Ajax example: lookup a value when a field is filled in.	[reply]
