This is a down and dirty example. You should taint the data in production. Here is my example.

HTML file 

<html lang="cs">
  <head>
  </head>
  <body>
    <form action="new6.pl">
    <input type="checkbox" name="field" value="Red"> Red<br>
    <input type="checkbox" name="field" value="Blue"> Blue<br>
    <input type="checkbox" name="field" value="Green"> Green<br>
    <input type="checkbox" name="field" value="Yellow"> Yellow<br>
    <input type="submit">
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

Perl Code 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use CGI qw/:standard :html4/;
use CGI::Carp qw ( fatalsToBrowser );  

my $query = new CGI; 
print $query->header();

&logit($0." has started" );
&logit("=======================");
&logit($0." ".query_string());


my @values = $query->param('field');
my $ColorCount=@values;

print "Colors Selected: ".$ColorCount."<br>";

foreach my $item (@values)
{
  print "Colors: ".$item."<br>";

}

exit;

Output 

Colors Selected: 4
Colors: Red
Colors: Blue
Colors: Green
Colors: Yellow
