If you create 5 copies of a form element with the same name CGI.pm will return the contents of all occurances of the
that fieldname as an array of the values in the order they were specified.

Update
MidLifeXis has a valid point concerning the order in which the values will be returned. So if the numbers are necessary to specify some type of ordering or precedence go with this revelation

This will simplify your code immensely when you need to drop back to 3 floor plans or increase to 7 floor plans.

In your template:

[% FOREACH s = [ 1 .. 5 ] %]
<tr>
        <td> Floor Plan Name </td>
        <td colspan='3'> 
        [% mycgi.textfield( '-name' => floorplan_name, 
                            '-size' => '50',
                            '-default' =>  THIS_PAGE.$IDX.floorplan_na
+me ) %] 
     </td>
</tr>

[% END %]

In your form processing cgi:

my $q = CGI->new;

my @floorplans = $CGI->param('floorplan_name');

# How many plans arrived?
my $num_plans = @floorplans;

# Looping over my plans
foreach my $plan ( @floorplans )
{
   &do_the_plan( $plan )
}
