in reply to CGI.PM checkbox_group background color

You would have to use something different to get exactly that output, eg: 

print label ( span ({ style => "background-color: #345643;" }, input (
+{ type => "checkbox" }) ) );

However, in practice I find that CSS can achieve desired results without additional tags. In your particular example,
print '<span style="background-color: #345643;">' . checkbox_group ({ values => "" }) . '</span>';
achieves the same effect. Of course your "real" scenario may be more complicated.
