Hm, so I am still at a roadblock here. I guess I do not understand how I would do it... Here is what I have, but as you can see I still have to evaluate what comes in... The problem is, this: "my ($user,$uid,$group,$home,$create,$shell)=@_;" is not doing anything at all. It is never evaluated, and I am unsure a nice clean way of doing that. 
sub buildCommand {
    my ($user,$uid,$group,$home,$create,$shell)=@_;
    my %flag;

    while (1) {
       print qq {
1. User:        $user
2. UID:         $uid
3. Group:       $group
4. Home Dir:    $home
5. Comment:     $comment
6. Shell:       $shell

D. Done
};

       print "Please Choose An Option From Above: "
       chomp(my $ans=<STDIN>);

       if ($ans == 1) {
          $flag{'user'} = getInput("Enter Username: ");
       }
       elsif ($ans == 2) {
          $flag{'uid'} = getInput("Enter UID: ");
       }
       elsif ($ans == 3) {
          $flag{'group'} = getInput("Enter Group: ");
       }
       elsif ($ans == 4) {
          $flag{'home'} = getInput("Enter Home: ");
       }
       elsif ($ans == 5) {
          $flag{'comment'} = getInput("Enter Comment: ");
       }
       elsif ($ans == 6) {
          $flag{'shell'} = getInput("Enter Shell: ");
       }
       elsif ($ans =~ /d/i && defined($user)) {
          last;
       }
       else {
          print "INVALID OPTION!\n";
       }
    }
    while (($key, $value) = each(%flag)){
        $flag .= "-$key $value ";
    }
    return(%flag);
}
