I guess you have PERL pretending to be a human plus a browser. Drop down lists can be presented in several ways, and the PERL programmer can parse the web pages as text to find the lists, but the PERL programmer probably has to know all the ways the lists may be presented in HTML and ECMA-Script to write the parser. I am not sure anyone wrote a virtual PERL browser to do the parsing for you.
