I did accept Jonathan's suggestion and I do my the Perl form verification
script alert the user to errant entries; however, my issue remains
resolved.
My form comprises three text boxes followed by a sizable array of checkbox

radio buttons and checkboxes are default checked. If the user hits return,
all form fields' default values will be submitted.
