All you do is have another array of tokens or for something a little more flash use a fields hash:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI ':standard';

my %fields =  ( abstract  => [],
                enough    => [],
                 drop     => [ 'foo', 'bar', 'baz' ] );

print header,
    start_html(),
    start_form,
    table({-border=>0},
      Tr( {-align=>LEFT,-valign=>TOP},
         [ td(['Email Address: ', textfield('usermail')]),
           format_input(%fields),
           td([ '', submit]),
         ])
     ),
    end_form,
    hr;

sub format_input {
    my %fields = @_;
    my @tds;
    for my $field ( sort keys %fields ) {
        if ( @{$fields{$field}} ) {
            my $list = popup_menu(  -name     => $field,
                                    -values   =>$fields{$field},
                                   );
            push @tds, td([ ucfirst($field).': ', $list ]); 
        }
        else { 
            push @tds, td([ ucfirst($field).': ', textfield($field)]);
        }  
    }
  return @tds;
}
    
my $tags ='';
for my $token ( keys %fields ) {
    my $content = CGI::escapeHTML(param($token));
  next unless $content;
    $tags .= qq!&lt;meta name="token" content="$content"&gt;<br>\n!;
}

print $tags;
print hr;
print end_html();
