Won't doing it that way screw the HTML?

In that case don't make $_ do double-duty. Instead, try 

my $dequoted = $_;
$dequoted =~ s/"/"/g;

print qq|<input type="checkbox" name="box$post_number" value="$dequote
+d">|;

    Don't quote your output at all print "stuff";

    Use a here document instead then you can put anything you fancy in it. 

     print <<HTML;

            <input type=checkbox name="box$post_number" value=" $_ "<p
