The reason for the behavior you are seeing is that @predefined contains an array reference, rather than a plain value. Since you don't show how you defined @predefined, it is impossible to say where you went wrong. Suffice it to say that:
print
$q->checkbox_group
(
-name=>'predefined',
-linebreak=>'true',
-values=>@predefined,
-defaults=>param('predefined'),
);
is not the right way to pass values to a CGI method. @predefined will be flattened into the argument list. If @predefined contains a single value, you've lucked out and it will work okay. If @predefined contains an odd number of values, the first will be taken as the value for the -values key, and the rest will be taken as separate key/value pairs. Worst case, if @predefined contains an even number of values, all the remaining explicit key/value pairs will be shifted by one, so that the keys are used as values and vice versa.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
