Subject: Perl/Tk, CheckButtons, and modifying variables

I'm trying to use a series of CheckButtons, and all is going pretty
well.

However, I want to change the associated variable and have it reflected
in the CheckButton.  I'm not sure of how to do this.

I searched through Google Groups and Google Web and found nothing.

Because of the number of CheckButtons in my case (300) they are split
up into 10 columns on screen in 10 different frames (which shouldn't
matter).  The Checkbuttons are actually stored in a Ruby hash (based on
a text string - server name, in this case).

I created a series of associated TkVariables in a related hash, but how
do I set these variables?  I've been just assigning a 1 (integer) but I
wonder.... does that change the hash value from a TkVariable to an
Integer?

I'm missing something - everything works except there is no reflection
in the display of the current status of the variables...
