in reply to CGI.pm checkbox problem?

values is looking for a reference:

print $q->checkbox_group
      (
        -name=>'predefined',
        -values=>@predefined,
      );

should be:
print $q->checkbox_group
      (
        -name=>'predefined',
        -values=> \@predefined,
      );

I have never seen CGI.pm end every form field with />

CGI.pm is xhtml compliant. Here's the header:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
    PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.0//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/xhtml-basic10.dtd">

[download]

The <code>/><code> is applied to any tags that don't have corresponding closing tags.
