I thought I would offer a little more cleaned up version. Cuz I have had to do this before.

  for (1..10){
    # using one var and letting CGI handle it
    print qq{
      <tr>
        <td><input type="text" name="stuff"></td>
      </tr>
    };
  }

# In your script that receives the POST 
use CGI;
my $cgi = new CGI;

my @stuff = $cgi->param('stuff');

foreach my $thing (@stuff){

  "INSERT INTO STUFF_HOLDER VALUES('$thing')";
}

BTW. The only other way I know how to INSERT more than one row into a table with a single SQL statement is by complimenting the INSERT with a SELECT. For example: INSERT INTO new_table SELECT * FROM old_table

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
