Change the name of the checkboxes slightly: Then, access them like this: [- @checks = grep {/cb:/} keys(%fdat); s/cb://g for @checks; -] Often checkboxes are used in a table where other columns might contain selects, input fields, more checkboxes, and so on. By putting the row sequence in the field name, order is preserved. Actually, in my example above, the value for the checkboxes is never used. Instead, the value is just so that it'll showed up as defined in %fdat.
