in reply to OT? Checkbox list with CGI/Javascript

For this I suggest you start by forgetting JavaScript, you don't need it. Then make use of the markup validator (you have syntax errors in your HTML). Then...

<input type="checkbox" name="ids" value="1">
<input type="checkbox" name="ids" value="2">
<input type="checkbox" name="ids" value="3">

and 
...
use CGI;
use Data::Dumper;
my $cgi = CGI->new();
my @results = $cgi->param('ids');

    This won't work, because we're generating the rows dynamically with the array @userids, and don't know how many we'll have.

      And the problem is...? Given this is a perl site, I think the exhortation to generate text given your @userids is implicit. 

        <tmpl_loop userids>
    <input type="checkbox" name="ids" value="<tmpl_var name>">
  </tmpl_loop>

      and in perl 
        my %tmpl_vars = ( userids => map { {name => $_} } @userids );

      assuming you're using HTML::Template. Modify as appropriate for your own templating system. You are using a templating system, right?
