Re: Passing variables to another script (theory)

It sounds to me like all you need is a mechanism to write to a config file from your admin.cgi script, and read from the config file in admin.cgi and any number of other CGI scripts.

Perl will do this well in any number of ways; you might consider:

Config::IniFiles, which will read and write config files in a simple INI format,
XML::Simple, which will read and write XML,
Your own hand-rolled solution. Decide on a simple format you can parse with split or a regexp, and write the code that will write your checkbox values in this format.

To keep the checkboxes checked, simply read the config file as discussed above, and generate the CGI form elements accordingly.
