I am using CGI.pm to create checkboxes for the attachment stripper. When some checkboxes clicked and submitted, the script only sometimes functions as expected. However, there are times submission fails. i.e. "checked" boxes are not recognized. Any insights, comments, or suggestions are appreciated. 
use CGI;
.....
my $query = new CGI;
....
print $query->startform(-method => 'GET');
...
#obtaining the emails that were intended for the user.
#printing the To, Subject,etc.
#Calling sub print_checkbox for the emails that were stripped for the 
+user.
...

print "<P>",$query->reset;
print "<P>",$query->submit;
print $query->endform;

# match_form called.

sub print_checkbox
{
    #print" I am here $_[0]<br>";
    print "<P>Do you want this e-mail message? ", $query->checkbox_gro
+up(-name =>'e_check',-values=>[$_[0]],-label=>[$_[0]]);
}


sub match_form
{
    my $matcher="meep.tc.onramp.ca"; #for testing purposes
    my @turned_on    = ($query->param('e_check'));
      print join(" ", @turned_on), "###\n";
    my $email_checked;
    print " I am in end_form before for each loop<br>";
    
    foreach $email_checked (@turned_on){ 
        if ($email_checked =~ /$matcher/)  
        {        #this part of the code should be executed
            #for all the emails checked.. yet, executed only sometimes
            #qmail-inject the mail
        }
        else
        {
        print "Nothing Equals, $email_checked<br>";
            }
        }
    
}
