You should probably get a book or two on CGI programming with perl,
and check the documentation for CGI.pm (although you may already be
doing that.)
I'd suggest that you start by trying to get this to work with a single
row on the form, and then when that works you can figure out how to
get this to work for multiple rows (hint - each drop-down needs a
different name, and you need some way of identifying in the drop-down
which row it refers to in the database).
