This is my first perl code so be as critical as you like so I don't form any bad habits. I am trying to enable a specific number of optionmenus based on an entry variable. Here is the code.

my $lam_num_ent = $lam_mat_frm -> Entry(),
    -variable=> \$lam_num;
my $ort_optmen1 = $lam_mat_frm -> Optionmenu(-options => [qw(-45 0 45 
+90)],
    -variable => \$ort1);
my $ort_optmen2 = $lam_mat_frm -> Optionmenu(-options => [qw(-45 0 45 
+90)],
    -variable => \$ort2);
my $ort_optmen3 = $lam_mat_frm -> Optionmenu(-options => [qw(-45 0 45 
+90)],
    -variable => \$ort3);
$ort_optmen1 -> configure(-state => 'disabled');
$ort_optmen2 -> configure(-state => 'disabled');
$ort_optmen3 -> configure(-state => 'disabled');
my $lam_data_button = $button_frm->Button(-text=>"Input Laminate Data"
+,
    -command=> \&input_lam_data);


sub input_lam_data {
    $n = 1;
    do {
    my @ort_optmen;
    $ort_optmen[$n] -> configure(-state => 'normal'); #This line is th
+e issue
    $n = $n+1;
    } until ($n == $lam_num+1);
}
