Pad the labels with spaces (and possibly   spaces).

    Only problem I see with that is if you add spaces to the value to line them up then when you print out the params there will be lots of spaces at the end.

      No, I said the labels - the values are not affected. 
      $q->scrolling_list(-name   =>'list_name',
                   -values =>['eenie','meenie','minie','moe'],
                   -default=>['eenie','moe'],
                   -size   =>1,
                   -labels =>  { eenie  => '    eenie    ',
                                 meenie => '   meenie    ',           
+  
                                 minie  => '    minie    ',
                                 mo     => '       mo    ' }
                  );

        The user asked for a popup_menu enlarger, your's is for a scrolling_list. I actually tried your code under a popup_menu but the size of the line still stays the same. (confusing question you have here, Anonymous Monk)
