First of all, return doesn't work when you are not in a subroutine, so you probably want exit(1);

You are already in a loop for $u... the while is a loop, what you should do is create an array, and push values of $u on it as you get them, so you would do 

push @users, $u;

in your loop, that adds values of $u one by one to the array, appending them to the end. Then your call would look like 
print $query->popup_menu(-name=>'userid',
                              -values=>\@users);## $u needs loop to pu
+ll all company entries from $db

at least, I think that is what you are asking for?
