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)

On cpan I found what they might be looking for:

   %labels = ('eenie'=>'your first choice',
          'meenie'=>'your second choice',
          'minie'=>'your third choice');
   print $query->popup_menu('menu_name',
                ['eenie','meenie','minie'],
                'meenie',\%labels);

Which is essentially what you have. I removed the actual text and attempted to add spaces (to see if you can change the length of the line) and you can't. All spaces in the labels are removed leaving the longest line the length of the longest text label. For fun I tried   but that shows up as text instead of as a space.

Anyway, these are my findings..

'popup_menu' and 'scrolling_list' with -size=1 are synonymous in CGI.pm - both create <select> tags. God knows why Lincoln let that slip through though...

In my initial post, I mentioned you may need &nbsp; chars. Try again using:
