Alakaboo -- thanks. I'm new to perl and didn't realize it would successfully post multiple values of the same name.

Brad -- I'm building a form to handle research data.

So, are you:
A. Sick to your stomach
B. Sick in your head
C. Sick in your feet

So the question is: are you sick? How?

The name is "sick" and the values are A,B,C. That's why a radio wouldn't work.

Shemp, Creating a lookup table is definitely the plan as we develop our platform for creating this type of survey in the future, but for this "one-off" form, it would be overkill. You make some great point, though, so I guess a seperate column for each checkbox is the way to go... for the reasons you mentioned, both indexing and adding/removing options.

Thanks everybody, I'm new to Perl, but I knew this would be the place to ask.
