      I was just thinking, by the way. The examples I've seen, so far,created forms within the PERL-CGI script itself. But I have a ready ".htm" file which is a form whic I created in Dreamweaver 3. And I have this certain database in mySQL. Is it possible for me to use the FORM I created in Dreamweaver, and just call the cgi file to process the form?

        You shouldn't have a problem with that. Just make sure your FORM tag has ACTION pointing to your cgi script. 
        <FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="pathtoscript/somescript.cgi">

        Of course there is a way to use the form you created.
        Let's suppose the form calls a script named test.cgi.
        In this script you write: 
        use CGI qw/:cgi/;

        Then you may use the param('name') where name is the form-element name in your page
