Looking for ideas to dynamically populate the options in a select dropdown list

I'm stuck, and need some ideas.

I have an HTML page with a drop down select field. I want to populate each
field with data from a database on my remote server. I have Javascript and
Perl available.

I can generate the list easily in Perl, but the HTML page isn't generated
under Perl, nor do I want to chase that option. The only thing I can think
of doing is to generate the list under Perl, save it as a file on the
server, and then 'include' it on the page. It doesn't seem to me to be an
elegant solution.

Anyone have any ideas?
