checkbox problem

bory has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have perl script, in this one I have a command with which I'm getting some information from a server! The information I receive I put it in a table with multiple colomns and rows. On each row in the first cell I put a checkbox, so that the selected one is sent to another script via form. The problem is that I want to sent the entire row with every cel from it when I select it, but i don't know how to do this! I mention that every %s is corespondet for identifier, phase, server etc. and returns the specific information for each! Ican't use %a,%b, %c, %d! Here is the code:

<pre>
 findbug -p Dxy -T | sort -u | bugval -s \"<tr><td> <input type="check
+box" 
name="Identifier" 
value="1">%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</t
+d><td>%s
</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td></tr>\n\"  identifier  phase server state 
production release projects deadlines " >> tablou_DDTS_fr.html;

</pre>

Are you just looking for hidden fields? Something like... `<td> <input type="checkbox" name="Identifier" value="1">%s <input type='hidden' name='phase' value='%s'> <input type='hidden' name='server' value='%s'> <input type='hidden' name='state' value='%s'> # etc. </td> <td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td> ... identifier phase server state phase server state` [download] Cheers, Ben.

But in this way the filds doesn`t appear in the first table!I want them to appear in the first table, to select them and send them to the second table! Thank you very much	[reply]

In my example, I showed the fieldnames at the end printed twice, so as to include them twice in the replacement string (once as a hidden value, once in the table cell). I guess this is some form of `printf`, so that should be valid. If not, and you're tied down to the implementation of this using the interface described (as opposed to writing a script that reads the results of your 'findbug' progam into a bunch of variables), then you'll need to find some other way of passing / displaying the fields at the same time - maybe as a (non-editable?) text-box or something.
