Since you're using dynamic keys, you'll have to pull those keys when the user does a post to your form

#!/usr/bin/perl

#cgi lib, no need to parse form
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI qw(:standard);

my $infile = "/home/ajb004/public_html/arabic.txt";

print header();
print start_html("Available Classes");

if (request_method() eq 'POST') {
    open my $fh, $infile or die $!;
    while (<$fh>) {
        s/_/ /g;
        my @word = split ',';
        my $result = param($word[0]) ? 'checked' : 'not checked';
        print qq{$word[0]: $result<br>};
    }
    close $fh or die $!;

} else {
    print qq{<form action="EnrollStudentPL.cgi" method="POST">};

    open my $fh, $infile or die $!;
    while (<$fh>) {
        s/_/ /g;
        my @word = split ',';
        print qq{<input type="checkbox" name="$word[0]" value="on"> $w
+ord[0]<br>};
    }
    close $fh or die $!;

    print qq{<input type="submit" value="Enroll">};
}

print end_html();

  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
