I am using

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

to print a list of checkboxes.
However, it is mushing everything on to one line, and I now it is designed to act like that but it is really ugly.
The array elements are strings.
The only way I could think of is to change $, to "<br>\n"
Is there a better way? (without adding junk to the end of the elements themselves or the obvious route of not using OO CGI.pm)

Also, the funny part, the html that CGI.pm is outputing looks like this:

<input type="text" name="something"  size="15" maxlength="15" />
<input type="checkbox" name="predefined" value="a line of text." />a l
+ine of text
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Preview" />
<input type="hidden" name=".cgifields" value="predefined" />
[download]

I have never seen CGI.pm end every form field with />
And why is it creating this hidden field?
This is the latest version of CGI.pm from cpan.
I think.. no, it is what came bundled with the perl5.6.1 code.... 2.752 I guess that is.
Is this new in the latest CGI.pm code because I have not had this happen before.
...or is it just me? Don't be afraid to tell me if you think I'm crazy.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
