OK, so I figured out, the hard way, a while ago that when you submit a
form with a checkbox or radio button with nothing checked, said checkbox
or radio button's field name does NOT get sent, via the browser, to my
perl script.  It's as if it does not exist.
Is there a way to guarantee that the field names will be passed to my
script?  The following ideas are options I would _not_ like to follow if
possible:
- set a default checkbox or redio button (so something is always filled
in). - use a hidden field to list of all the fields in the form.
- have the perl script read the HTML code from the page and make its own
list.
- javascript

I kinda understand why the browser doesn't send this information (no value
to hold onto), but there HAS to be a solution for this.  Seems frightfully
stupid not to have an easy option out there for something like this.

Thanks.
