Hello folks: Thanks for all the responses. Let me explain why I cannot populate the hash containing radiobutton/checkbox logic in Perl. My Perl script is written as a controller script which takes 'action' and 'data' as parameters. The action can be any of 'view', 'edit', 'update' etc. The data is just a literal indicating the datasource (does not need to match the actual table). The controller.pl combines the two literals, and looks for 2 files as a combo of <action><data>.tmpl, and .sql. The .tmpl is the template, and the .sql is the sql. As a result, the core controller script is not aware of any data fields at design time, and becomes database aware AT RUNTIME ONLY. This has allowed me to go against ANY table. The only caveat is that the fields retrieved by the SQL must match the fieldnames in the tmpl files. Of course there is some special processing logic in the controller script for inserts/updates, as they do not output views.
Now do you see why I can't write the logic within Perl? I have to enable this within the .TMPL, no matter how bad it sounds in principle.
