Well, it appears that neither checkboxes nor scrolling lists (with multiple selected) will work. I'm stumped. I must be doing something wrong, but I just don't see it.

This checkbox code doesn't work: 

 foreach(@checks_list) {
              my $index=index $real_fields{$name},$_;
               if ($index != -1) {
                  print $q->b('This should be checked!');
                  print $q->checkbox(-checked=>'checked', -name=>"$nam
+e", -value=>"$_", -label=>"$hash{$_}");
               } else {
                  print $q->checkbox(-name=>"$name", -value=>"$_", -la
+bel=>"$hash{$_}");
               }
          }

Nor does this: 
 print $q->checkbox_group(-name=>"$name", -values=>\@checks_list,-defa
+ult=>\@check_array, -labels=>\%hash);

nor does this: 
            print $q->scrolling_list(-name=>"$name", -values=>\@checks
+_list, -default=>\@check_array, -labels=>\%hash, -multiple=>'true');
