This might give you a pointer. It uses HTML::Template

The next stage is that DBI can be coaxed into providing just this sort of structure. See HTML::Template nested loops, DBI/MySQL and map for a discussion.

You could store the data structure in a CGI::Session. So when you get the form back you will know what it contains.

Hope that helps. 

#!/usr/bin/perl 

use strict;
use warnings;
use HTML::Template;

my $rec = [
  {
    name => 'field1',
    value => 'one',
  },
  {
    name => 'field2',
    value => 'two',
  },
    {
    name => 'field3',
    value => 'three',
  },
    {
    name => 'field4',
    value => 'four',
  },
];

my $t = HTML::Template->new(filehandle => *DATA);
$t->param(rec => $rec);
print $t->output;

__DATA__  
<form>
<TMPL_LOOP NAME="rec">
<input 
  TYPE="text" 
  NAME="<TMPL_VAR NAME="name">" 
  VALUE="<TMPL_VAR NAME="value">"
/>
</TMPL_LOOP>
</form>
