I'm not sure in what sense you have to turn it into a "menu." In your example, you indicate it should be turned into an unordered list. That said, You would probably be better off using a hash of nested hashes instead of an array of strings to hold the "menu" data.

my %hash = ( 
    Main => { 
        Reviews => {
            'PC'   => A_LINK_OR_CALLBACK_FUNCTION,
            'PS2'  => A_LINK_OR_CALLBACK_FUNCTION,
            'XBox' => A_LINK_OR_CALLBACK_FUNCTION,
         }, 
         News => A_LINK_OR_CALLBACK_FUNCTION,
    },
    'Other Menu' => {
        Other => {
            Sub => {
                Menus => A_LINK_OR_CALLBACK_FUNCTION,
            },
        },
    },      
);

Note that I use A_LINK_OR_CALLBACK_FUNCTION to represent where you would probably store a URL (if this is for a web page) or a callback function (if this is for a GUI based program.)
