This code will keep your box as long as your longest value.
my @values = qw/
One
Two
Three
Four
Zoobdude(_Been_to_Dennys?_:)
/;
my $longest = 0;
map { $longest = length > $longest ? length : $longest } @values;
printf "<option value='$_'>%${longest}s\n", $_ foreach @values;
Update: You wanted to use CGI.pm? Ok, this time we'll use a fixed width of 40 chars:
my @values = qw/
One
Two
Three
Four
Zoobdude(_Been_to_Dennys?_:)
/;
my %popup;
$popup{$_} = sprintf "%40s",$_ foreach @values;
print $cgi->popup_menu(
-name => 'popup',
'-value' => [ keys %popup ],
'-labels' => \%popup,
),"\n";
Enjoy!
