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!
