You're joking, right? I mean, this can't be serious that I'm trying the stuff you do and everything works for you but not for me... The complete code within my script: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI qw/:standard/;

print CGI::header;
print CGI::start_html;
print CGI::checkbox(-name => 'my_checkbox',
                    -checked => 0,
                    -value => 'on',
                    -label => 'label of my checkbox. Check Me!!!',
                    -labelattributes => { id => 'checkboxlabel_id' }
              );
print CGI::end_html;

Could this be any problem of my machine or whatsoever? I mean, I just copied and pasted your code! Or have I put in any error again?
