Thanks for your help. I have been trying to figure this out all weekend and got a little frustrated.

Forgive me everyone.

Here is a little snippet that everyone can run to see my problem. The problem again is when I click 1 checkbutton they all get selected.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Tk;
use Tk::Table;


our $MW = MainWindow->new(%{$BPP::BPPDEFAULTS::MYDEFAULTS{MAINWINDOW}}
+); 
$MW->geometry('800x700+0+0');
my $tableframe = $MW->Frame(-background=>'white'
                )->pack(-side=>'top', 
                    -fill=>'both',
                           -pady=>20);
            
my $bill_table = $tableframe->Table(-rows=>2, 
                -columns=>3, 
                -background=>'pink', 
                -scrollbars=>'e'
                )->pack(-fill=>'both', 
                    -side=>'top', 
                    -anchor=>'s');
                
my @foo = qw/ Apple Oranges Pears/;
my $x = 1;
my $checkbox;
my $checkboxvalue = 0;
foreach my $f (@foo)
{
$checkbox = $bill_table->Checkbutton(-variable=>\$checkboxvalue);
$bill_table->put($x,0, $checkbox);
$bill_table->put($x,1, $f);

$bill_table->Button(-text=>'Submit',
        -command=>sub{print $f}
        )->pack;
$x++;
}#end foreach loop

MainLoop;

So to distinguish them I tried putting the -variable value in an array. This fixes the selection issue but then that -variable value is not being set when I click on the checkbutton. I get this error: Use of uninitialized value in numeric eq (==)

use strict;
use warnings;
use Tk;
use Tk::Table;


our $MW = MainWindow->new(%{$BPP::BPPDEFAULTS::MYDEFAULTS{MAINWINDOW}}
+); 
$MW->geometry('800x700+0+0');

    my $tableframe = $MW->Frame(-background=>'white'
                )->pack(-side=>'top', 
                    -fill=>'both',
                           -pady=>20);
            
    my $bill_table = $tableframe->Table(-rows=>2, 
                        -columns=>3, 
                        -background=>'pink', 
                        -scrollbars=>'e'
                        )->pack(-fill=>'both', 
                            -side=>'top', 
                            -anchor=>'s');
                
my @foo = qw/ Apple Oranges Pears/;
my $x = 1;
my $t=0;
my $checkbox;
my @checkboxvalue;
foreach my $f (@foo)
{
$checkbox = $bill_table->Checkbutton(-variable=>\$checkboxvalue[$t]);
$bill_table->put($x,0, $checkbox);
        $bill_table->put($x,1, $f);

        $bill_table->Button(-text=>'Submit',
                        -command=>sub{if ($checkboxvalue[$t] ==1){prin
+t $f}}
                        )->pack;

        $x++;
        $t++;
    }#end foreach loop

I hope this makes my problem clearer.
================================================

I need a Checkbutton and a Submit button on each line becuase there will be distinct information I need to change on each line. When the Checkbutton is selected, the information in that line is editable and the Submit button submits those changes for that line only.

I also need a reference to the checkbutton in order to PUT it in the table.

$checkbox = $bill_table->Checkbutton(-variable=>\$checkboxvalue[$t]);
$bill_table->put($x,0, $checkbox);
