What you need is something like

  my $cgi = CGI->new;
  my @selections = $cgi->param('host_tech_file_selection');

I've written an example to show you how it works here

  http://thegestalt.org/simon/checkboxes/

the script is included on the page. 

It uses a template rather than using CGI.pm's inbuilt html generation 
functions just because it makes the code cleaner so you can see the 
techniques used.

Hope that helps,

Simon
