in reply to How to take values from check box in CGI form?

as an aside, and a bit of a nit pick, I hate to see map used like this. IMHO it should only normally be used if you're processing an array and outputting an array.

What's wrong with this? 

for (@mailid) {
    print qq{<tr><td><input type="checkbox" name="address" value="$_" 
+/> $_</td></tr>\n};
}

    I agree with your nit that map should be used to return an array (er, list), that is, I don't like map in void context. However, in this case, it is returning a list - which is then used as a list of parameters to print. Remember - print takes a list just fine ;-)
