CGI.pm can also create forms. And to have the pages pre-filled in, just
use $q->textfield('my value for this particular element') set and it
will be prefilled in. (all of the rest of the form elements would use
something like:
$q->checkbox_group(-values=>['Shampoo', 'Toothbrush', 'Potato
Salad'], -name=>'mypopup');
But I'm not sure how you'd say 'checked' for one particular one.
