My issue here does not seem to be with CGI::FormBuilder, which is appropriately creating those checkboxes as requested. See Data::Dumper output snippet here:

'fieldrefs' => {
    'group_action_94' => bless( {
          'cleanopts' => 1,
          'fieldrefs' => {},
            'options' => [
           'perform_group_action'
                         ],
              'value' => 'perform_group_action',
               'name' => 'group_action_94',
         'selectname' => 1,
             'sticky' => 0,
           'required' => 0,
              '_form' => ${$VAR1},
               'type' => 'checkbox',
              'label' => '',
          'selectnum' => 5,
           'validate' => undef
      }, 'CGI::FormBuilder::Field' ),

My issue is this: How do I invoke in my template a "<tmpl-var field-checkbox>" with a variable fieldname, which changes on each iteration through the loop and have my dynamically generated checkbox embedded in rows of my output?

Do I need to extend HTML::Template to add a new tag to accommodate a variable field name? And if so, can anyone with knowledge of its innards offer guidance about how best to accomplish that? And if not, how would this be done?

FYI: Save the fact that perlmonks does not want to seem to want me to embed a form into this node, this is the result I'm hoping to see:

<form action="dashboard.cgi" id="Group_Actions" method="post" name="Group_Actions">

		Call Group: <select id="group" name="group"> <option value="">-select-</option> <option value="7">test_group_001</option> <option value="14">test_group_007</option> <option value="15">test_group_008</option> </select> Group Action: <select id="group_action" name="group_action"> <option value="">-select-</option> <option value="edit_group">Edit Group</option> <option value="add_to_group">Add to Group</option> <option value="remove_from_group">Remove from Group</option> <option value="delete_from_list">Delete from List</option> </select>		<input id="Group_Actions_submit" name="_submit" type="submit" value="Process Group Action" />
Tag	First Name	Last Name	Email	Phone	Actions
<input type="checkbox" name="group_action_94" value="perform_group_action">	Testy	Tester	tt@example.com	123-555-1212	some links
<input type="checkbox" name="group_action_95" value="perform_group_action">	Testoria	Tester	tt2@example.com	321-555-1212	some links

</form>

Please note: that the field name changes for each checkbox in the tag column; and that the number of rows in this table can not be predicted and will change with user input.
