The docs state that in the case that no label is provided the -name
value will be used, -name is required. This is the reason why I don't
like using autogenerated HTML, seldom do my desires and those of the
module creator match up, having said that...
Add an empty label argument...
print $q->checkbox(-name=>'want_media',
-checked=>'checked',
-label=>'',
);
