labelattributes misbehaves in checkbox_group [rt.cpan.org #66194]

Dear Sir/Madam,

Many thanks for taking the time to look at this bug.

I'm using:
CGI  version 3.52
Perl version 5.10.1 for x86_64
OS Fedora Core 13
   2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.x86_64

I assumed that in the context of a checkbox_group labelattributes would
behave the same as attributes so as to be able to assign attributes to
*specific* labels in a group. However using the code below I get ALL
labels being given a hashref to display.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use CGI qw/:standard/;

my $cgi = new CGI;
print $cgi->header;
print $cgi->start_html;

my %labels = (
 'eenie'=>'first choice',
 'meenie'=>'second choice',
 'minie'=>'third choice');
my %labelattr = ('eenie'=> { 'class' => 'somecssclass' } );
my %attr = ('eenie'=> { 'class' => 'someothercssclass' } );

print $cgi->checkbox_group(-name => 'my_checkbox',
 -values => ['eenie','meenie','minie'],
 -labels => \%labels,
 -attributes => \%attr,
 -labelattributes => \%labelattr
 );
print $cgi->end_html;

Regards,

Richard Francis

Rejecting. I'm not accepting any feature requests, patches, or updates to the HTML generating functions of CGI.pm unless they are of a critical nature (i.e. fixing fundamentally broken HTML output).
