Monks, I once again stand before you asking to be blessed with the great wisdom you posses!

I am creating A menubutton which when clicked produces the checkbutton menu. Now everything works like a charm, with the exception of the end desired result. See code below: 

     $b4 = $windows{overlord_left1}->Menubutton(
    -text    => 'EC',
    -takefocus => 0,
    -background=>'black',
    -foreground=>'white',
    -relief => 'flat');

for $label(@ECs){
my $i=0; 
$i++;
my $variable_name = "$label"."$i";
$label_ref = \$variable_name;
chomp $label;

$b4->checkbutton(-label => "$label",
         -variable => $label_ref,
         -command => sub {
            if ($variable_name > 0){
            our $ec = "$label";}});
  if($ec){
     foreach (@systemSelected){
        push @systemNames, "$_"."-$ec";}
           }

I am having to use a variable reference, as I have to somehow dynamically create the variable used for the checkbutton variable. Now this works except when I check more than 1 box. If only one checkbox is selected then the name is appended as expected, but if I select multiple checkboxes, I only get the output of ONE button :s Assuming this is a result of my dynamic variable, any suggestions otherwise?
