Question: Can I assign values to an array, and then use that array as the datasource for populating a checkbox in an HTML form? See the arrays "@list" and "@defaultScriptList" below. My way of doing this did not seem to work. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use CGI;
my $co = new CGI;

my @list;
@list = ( 'AD.MDF.1B', 'AD.MDF.3B', 
'AD.PROGMGMT', 'AD.USERMGMT', 'AD.CUSTMGMT', 
'AD.PEAS.1', 'AD.PEAS.6', 'AD.REPORTS', 
'MOT.MDF.3', 'MOT.MDF.5', 'XX.PROGMGMT', 
'SW.MDF.3');

my @defaultScriptList;
@defaultScriptList = ( "AD.USERMGMT", AD.CUSTMGMT" );

print $co->checkbox_group
            (
            -name=>'scriptList',
        -values=>@list,
-defaults=>@defaultScriptList,
            );
