Database retrieval:

To me, a pop up menu can mean all sorts. You could use a common HTML options menu if that suits you(<select><option>abc</option></select>) or if your looking for a Perl solution I guess you should be looking at TK:

If you want help you need to post some code you have tried, and we also don't help people with their "homework assignments" for understandable reasons.

Actually, I suppose you would want to be looking at the CGI module for a popup menu:
