Aha. What you need to do is tell Perl that you want to use these variables. Generally, that's done something like this: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT     # or #!c:/perl/bin/perl -wT

use strict;
my $q;
my $sess_id;
my $usr_name;
my $password;

and so forth. If you're familiar with scoping rules in another language, you'll find that Perl is pretty similar.

    If there is any chance that you will want to run this using mod_perl, it is important to change those declarations to: 
    use vars qw (
  $q $sess_id $usr_name $password
);

    I tried to explain why at RE (3): BrainPain-Help, don't think I succeeded. If someone wants to give me feedback on how to improve that description, I would appreciate it....

    EDIT
    Note that the mod_perl issue is likely to be an issue with other "fast CGI" type approaches like FastCGI and ASP. The underlying problem is not Apache/mod_perl, it is with how Perl names things.
