[lug] perl and cgi.pm

[Michael J. Hammel]

I'm trying to add a checkbox group to a CGI.pm script.  I need to give the
values for each checkbox inside a loop.  According to Lincoln Stein's
book on CGI.pm, the function checkbox_group() will return an array of
elements (in an array context) that I can manipulate in my loop (which
actually builds a table).  My question is I don't know what elements I'm
getting back or how to manipulate them.

For example, I'd like to do this:

@buttons = checkbox_group(...);

$index=0;
while(...)
{
	push @row,
		Tr( 
			td( $buttons[$index++]({-value=>"$something"}) ),
			td( ... )
		);
}

The syntax here is wrong, I know.  So how do I access the elements created
by the call to checkbox_group and update/set the value for a given
checkbox?
