in reply to Problem printing checkbox response array using CGI.pm

Your question makes no sense to me, maybe you can simplify it by posting running code that reproduces your problem (as per How do I post a question effectively?), something like

#!/usr/bin/perl -- use strict; use warnings; use CGI::Pretty; my @fudge = 1..3; my $q = CGI::Pretty->new ( { class => \@fudge } ); print "{$_}\n" for $q->param('class'); print $q->checkbox_group(-name=>'class'), "\n" __END__ {1} {2} {3} <label> <input type="checkbox" name="class" value="1" checked="checke +d" />1 </label> <label> <input type="checkbox" name="class" value="2" checked="checke +d" />2 </label> <label> <input type="checkbox" name="class" value="3" checked="checke +d" />3 </label>
This what I'm guessing is your issue

    Sorry, I was trying to avoid copying and pasting so much since I have everything on a UNIX server at school. Here is the checkbox HTML. It is a separate file from the cgi file.

    <hr> <b>Pearl Parks and Recreation Class Listings</b> <p> Please use the checkbox(es) to indicate which class/classes you would +like to register for. <p> <table border="1" cellpadding="4"> <tr> <th></th> <th>Title</th> <th>Location</th> <th>Time</th> <th>Start</th> <th>Cost</th> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="checkbox" name="class" value="Pilates"></td> <td>Pilates (13-Adult)</td> <td>Pearlview RECenter</td> <td>9am Sat</td> <td>9/10/2011</td> <td>$100</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="checkbox" name="class" value="Zumba"></td> <td>Zumba (13-Adult)</td> <td>Pearlview RECenter</td> <td>10am Sat</td> <td>9/10/2011</td> <td>$100</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="checkbox" name="class" value="Tai Chi I"></td> <td>Tai Chi I (13-Adult)</td> <td>Pearlview RECenter</td> <td>12pm Sat</td> <td>9/10/2011</td> <td>$100</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="checkbox" name="class" value="Tai Chi II"></td> <td>Tai Chi II (13-Adult)</td> <td>Pearlview RECenter</td> <td>1:30pm Sat</td> <td>9/10/2011</td> <td>$100</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="checkbox" name="class" value="Hatha Yoga"></td> <td>Hatha Yoga (13-Adult)</td> <td>Pearlview RECenter</td> <td>11:00am Sun</td> <td>9/11/2011</td> <td>$100</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="checkbox" name="class" value="Yoga for Power"></td> + <td>Yoga for Power (13-Adult)</td> <td>Pearlview RECenter</td> <td>9:30am Sun</td> <td>9/11/2011</td> <td>$100</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="checkbox" name="class" value=5K Team-Beginner"></td +> <td>5K Team-Beginner (13-Adult)</td> <td>Pearlview RECenter</td> <td>8:00am Tue</td> <td>9/13/2011</td> <td>$100</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="checkbox" name="class" value="Cycle Spin Youth & Fa +mily"></td> <td>Cycle Spin Youth & Family (11-Adult)</td> <td>Pearlview RECenter</td> <td>5pm Tue/Thu</td> <td>9/13/2011</td> <td>$100</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="checkbox" name="class" value="Low Impact Aerobics"> +</td> <td>Low Impact Aerobics (13-Adult)</td> <td>Pearlview RECenter</td> <td>5pm Wed</td> <td>9/14/2011</td> <td>$100</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="checkbox" name="class" value="Weight Training for W +omen"></td> <td>Weight Training for Women (16-Adult)</td> <td>Pearlview RECenter</td> <td>11am Wed</td> <td>9/21/2011</td> <td>$100</td> </tr> </table> <br> <input type="submit" value="Register!"> <input type="reset" value="Clear Form"> </form> </body> </html>

    Here is the full cgi program that I've written so far. Note that this is still a work in progress.

    #!/opt/csw/bin/perl use CGI qw/:standard/; my $name = param('name'); my $address = param('address'); my $city = param('city'); my $state = param('state'); my $zip = param('zip'); my $phone = param('phone'); my $fax = param('fax'); my $email = param('email'); my $email2 = param('email2'); my $gender = param('gender'); my $invoice = param('invoice'); print header(), start_html('Registration Confirmation'), hr(), h2("Pearl County Parks and Recreation"), h4("Class Registration Confirmation"), hr(), p("Thank you for registering with Pearl County Parks and Recreation.") +, p("Please find your class registration confirmation below."), hr(), p("Name:",$name), p("Address:",$address), p("City:",$city), p("State:",$state), p("ZIP:",$zip), p("Phone:",$phone), p("FAX:",$fax), p("Email:",$email), br(), hr(), hr(), p("You are registered for the following class(es)."), p("As requested, your invoice will be sent to you by $invoice."), br(), my @classes = param('class'); foreach my $class (@classes){ print "$class <br>\n"; } end_html();

      The code you posted should never produce the output you described -- like this says, try upgrading CGI

      While I doubt it's your problem, you might want to fix up the following line of HTML:

      <td><input type="checkbox" name="class" value=5K Team-Beginner"></td>

      I think you're missing a " after value=
