1... How do I set so that values and displayed text differ? "options" sets everything. Is there a way of separating and setting the two separately?

Supply an array ref, see examples in test suite http://search.cpan.org/dist/CGI-FormBuilder/MANIFEST

2. I would like to implement my own validation for certain fields on the server-side and I need to be able to set certain fields manually that they are invalid. How do I do that?

As per http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/CGI::FormBuilder#validate simply supply your own regex, or your own Data::FormValidator profile

3. I would like to add html code in checkbox labels, how do I do that? Currently, html code in labels somehow do not go through

Search CGI::FormBuilder for $html to see where you can add your own $html, your other option is to create your own templates
