You are.  Their choices from the last go around will be reflected in the 
checked / unchecked setting of each box *in the html*.  The [value ...] is 
reset at the end to clear that element of the interchange Value hash (like 
$Values->{foo} = '') so that the 'memory' of the value does not override 
the next form submission, which is what is happening to you now.
