i suppose you fill it like this (and im talking about Gtk1):

$combo->set_popdown_strings( @strings );

#after you get the "activated" signal you just have to do:
my $selected_text = $combo->entry->get_text();
my $i =0;
while ($#strings) >= $i) {
        last if $string[$i] eq $selected_text
}


##
#in $i is your original position
