HTML::FormFu handles this correctly.
For a single form submission, maybe, but not for setting the "checked"
attribute correctly in displayed forms. I just tried the form you
suggested above, and it only displays the checkboxes correctly if
there is no more than one checkbox selected (if more than one was
selected, they all end up unchecked).

It works for me with HTML::FormFu::Element::Checkboxgroup. I forgot to
mention that detail. :)
Riiight :-). Does that mean we're back where we started -- that
single checkboxes are booleans? And if you want multiple checkboxes
with the same name then you should be using Checkboxgroup?
Okay, I tested it with individual Checkbox elements that have the same
name and see the same behavior you did. As you said, the code in
Checkbox::prepare_attrs() assumes that there will be a single value.
Maybe that should be changed: Checkbox could accept a list of values, to
work with multiple checkboxes with the same name.
A Checkboxgroup works if all the checkboxes should be together in the
form, but there could be cases where the user wants the checkboxes to be
mixed in with other elements.
