Then do have a look at HTML::Prototype. Prototype is a great JS
library that has many AJAX type functions. HTML::Prototype is a perl
wrapper for that library. There is also
CGI::Application::Plugin::HTMLPrototype.

If that answer is "Javascript" that is okay...I would rather it
not. ; )
Javascript is the "cool" way of doing it and does not necessarily
require a round-trip to the server, but could (and if it were
done, this is what people commonly call AJAX).
The other way is to use an onChange attribute of the first combo
box to submit the form back to the server. The server would make
the appropriate changes and then resend the page to the browser
with new values for the combo boxes.

I have avoided Ajax up to now. I guess I will delve into.
