Fellow Monks, I am trying to display a checklist in a perl Tk program i'm writing. I am having trouble with the Tk::Checkbutton. When I use the following code the checkbuttons do not show up. If I make the arrays into single scalars the checkboxes show up but when I check 1 they all are checked because it's only 1 value for all. So I think I need an array to hold each checkbutton and an array to hold each checkbutton value.
Please tell me what i'm doing wrong. Thanks!

    
my $x = 1;  #index for table rows
my $t=0;  #index for checkbuttons and values
my @checkboxvalue;  #array to hold the checkutton values for each chec
+kbox
my @checkbox; #array to hold the checkbuttons for each row
foreach my $m (@unpaidbills)
{
   $checkbox[$t]= $bill_table->Checkbutton(-variable=>\$checkboxvalue[
+$t]);
        $bill_table->put($x,0, $checkbox[$t]);
        $bill_table->put($x,1, $m->{bill_name});
        $bill_table->put($x,2, "\$$m->{bill_amountdue}");
        $bill_table->put($x,3, "$main::month\/$m->{bill_datedue}\/$mai
+n::year");
        $bill_table->put($x,4,  "\$$m->{bill_amountpaid}");
        $bill_table->put($x,5,  $m->{bill_datepaid});
        
        @paymethods = BPP::PAYMETHODS->retrieve($m->{bill_paymethod});
        $bill_table->put($x,6, map{$_->{paymethod_desc}}@paymethods);
        my $paybill = $bill_table->Button(-text=>'Submit',
                        -command=>sub{    if ($checkboxvalue[$t] == 1)
+{
&BillPaymentScreen($m->{bill_name}, $m->{bill_amountdue}, $m->{bill_da
+tedue}, $m->{bill_id},     $tltop) }
else {                                    print "checkbox not paid"}  
+                          }#end sub
)->pack;

        $bill_table->put($x,7, $paybill);
        $x++;
}#end foreach loop

Update> I get the following error: Use of uninitialized value in numeric eq (==) at BPP/BILL.pm line 148. Which is this line: if ($checkboxvalue[$t] == 1
