I won't repeat what has already been said about your database code but read it again, it's important.

In the first piece of code you are doing something odd: 

print $cgi->header;
print $session->header;

I don't think that it will cause a failure but you might want to examine the generated headers to be certain. You really only the second line.

Moving on to second piece of code...

What is use sub test(); supposed to do? I'm not familiar with the sub pragma. Is it one you wrote or should that really be use subs qw(test);?

You cannot print anything in a CGI program before printing the headers but you've done just that. Move the print "<html><head>"; after the call to print $session->header;.
