[MacPerl] how too?

[music@cyberwaves.cgl.com]

Hello,
Im new to this perl stuff so i may ask alot of questions <grin>
anyhow...when setting up a form that has checkboxes...how do you go about
making them (checkboxes) into varibles???

since someone can select more then one checkbox do you have to set up a
varible for each possible selection.

ie.

<INPUT TYPE="Checkbox" NAME="MAIN" ><FONT SIZE=5>Manufactures</FONT><BR>
     <UL><INPUT TYPE="Checkbox" NAME="SUB">Equipment<BR>
     <INPUT TYPE="Checkbox" NAME="SUB">Hardwear<BR>
     <INPUT TYPE="Checkbox" NAME="SUB">Midi<BR>
     <INPUT TYPE="Checkbox" NAME="SUB">Softwear<BR>
     <INPUT TYPE="Checkbox" NAME="SUB">Other
     <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="SUB" SIZE=40><BR><BR>
     </UL>

how would i go about doing this?

thanks in advance
Dustin
