Ouch. In Perl, there is often a better way to do an equivalent of the for loop that you describe. In particular, you should leave it up to perl to keep track of the indices.
If your data is in input.txt, then
open INPUT, "input.txt" or die "Can't open input.txt: $!\n";
print '<table>';
while (<INPUT>) {
@words=split /\s+/;
printf "<tr><td>%s</td><td><input type=\"%s\" name=\"%s\"></td></t
+r>", $words[0], $words[1], $words[0];
}
print '</table>';
close INPUT;
would build a table for each line from the input. It's up to you to tweak the HTML.
Update: Put <tr></tr> in the right places.
Update 2: I tweaked HTML so that each checkbox gets more unique (but potentially not) name. :)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
