In case where all possible values of the drop-down that you want to populate with data (I mean all possible values, for each value of the other drop-down) and not that many (KBytes), you can use javascript and load all the values on a javascript function and then just change the active/visible set of the values when the user changes the selected option of the other drop-down. This way you don't submit anything back to the server.
But this is getting away from the CGI::App, you can do a web search for javascript solutions on this subject and you will find many.
