Thanks to you both. Absolutely correct!
Therefore I added the following.
$wg{Status_Label} = $mw->Label(-borderwidth => 2, -relief => 'groove')
  ->pack(-side => 'bottom');
$balloon_wg{pulldown} = $mw->Balloon(-statusbar => $wg{Status_Label});
$balloon_wg{pulldown}->attach($wg{APullDown_Option}, -msg => [@mes_opt
+ions]);
# lines A
#$balloon_wg{pulldown}->attach($wg{APullDown_Option}, -state => 'ballo
+on',
#                            -msg => ['A1', 'B2','C3', 'D4']);
# line B
#$balloon_wg{pulldown}->attach($wg{APullDown_Option}, -msg => [@mes_op
+tions]);

As you can see there are two options , two lines for A and one for B
For both I got messages of the form
Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected continuation byte 0xb6, with no preceding start byte) in null operation at ….site/lib/Tk.pm line 406.
How can I cure this?
