Thank you for the response. I am trying to create 3 different option menus. In the big picture, there will be a maximum number of optionmenus available but all disabled. When the user types in the entry, in this case, 1 2 or 3, that number of optionmenus are enabled. Here is a working code. The sub input_lam_data is where I'd like to replace the three configure commands with a loop. 

use Tk;
# Variables
my $lam_num;
my $ort1;
my $ort2;
my $ort3;

# Main Window
my $mw = new MainWindow;

# Build GUI
my $lam_mat_frm = $mw -> Frame();
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 = $lam_mat_frm->Button(-text=>"Input Laminate Data
+",
    -command=> \&input_lam_data);

# Geometry Management
$lam_mat_frm -> grid(-row=>1, -column=>1, -columnspan=>2);
$lam_num_ent -> grid(-row=>1,-column=>1);
$ort_optmen1 -> grid(-row=>2,-column=>1);
$ort_optmen2 -> grid(-row=>3,-column=>1);
$ort_optmen3 -> grid(-row=>4,-column=>1);
$lam_data_button -> grid(-row=>5,-column=>1);

MainLoop;

sub input_lam_data {
    $ort_optmen1 -> configure(-state => 'normal'); 
    $ort_optmen2 -> configure(-state => 'normal'); 
    $ort_optmen3 -> configure(-state => 'normal'); 
}
