It sounds to me like all you need is a mechanism to write to a config file from your admin.cgi script, and read from the config file in admin.cgi and any number of other CGI scripts.
Perl will do this well in any number of ways; you might consider:
- Config::IniFiles, which will read and write config files in a simple INI format,
- XML::Simple, which will read and write XML,
- Your own hand-rolled solution. Decide on a simple format you can parse with split or a regexp, and write the code that will write your checkbox values in this format.
To keep the checkboxes checked, simply read the config file as discussed above, and generate the CGI form elements accordingly.

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).
