From an old version of the docs, and still applicable in CGI.pm 3.04:

This function actually returns an array of button elements. You can capture the array and do interesting things with it, such as incorporating it into your own tables or lists. The -nolabels option is also useful in this regard:

@h=$query->checkbox_group(-name=>'choice',-value=>['fee','fie','foe'],
+ -nolabels=>1);
create_nice_table(@h);

Or generate them one at a time in a loop with

CGI::checkbox(-name => 'the_group', -value => $value, -label =>'')
[download]

, giving them all the same name, and CGI.pm can process it just like it was made with checkbox_group.

• 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).
