Hi, I have written following perl code: 
#!C:/Perl64/bin/perl.exe 
use DBI; 
use CGI; 
 
$cgi = new CGI; 
 
##Create table using cgi 
$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:mysql:TestDB", 'root','zulfi12345') or die "U
+nable to connect: $DBI::errstr\n"; 
 
$username = $cgi->param( 'username' ) || ''; 
$password = $cgi->param ('password') || ''; 
$submit = $cgi->param( 'submit' ) || ''; 
 
$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT username, password FROM users WHERE usern
+ame =$username and password=$password"); 
$sth->execute(); 
$found=0; 
while($row = $sth->fetchrow_hashref) { 
$found=1; 
} 
if ($found==1){ 
print "Welcome";}
