Thank you. So I did comment it out and put the print statements in as below but i got an internal server error which I guess means that there is something wrong with the html file?? Below is the CGI script. Thank you so much.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use DBI;
use CGI;

my $query = new CGI;
print $query->header();
#my $my_database = "TrypSnoDB";
#my $localhost = "localhost";
#my $dsn = "DBI:mysql:$my_database:$localhost";
#my $db_user_name = "adrian";
#my $db_password = "temp_pass";
#my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=TrypSnoDB;host=localhost;m
+ysql_socket=/private/software/mysql/mysql.sock","adrian","temp_pass",
+ {'RaiseError' => 1});

if ($query->param('submit1')){
    my $family = $query->param('family');
    my $TB = $query->param('TB');
    my $LM = $query->param('LM');
    my $HS = $query->param('HS');
    my $SC = $query->param('SC');
    my $AT = $query->param('AT'); 
    my $db_query;
    print qq(TB: $TB<br>;
    print qq(LM: $LM)<br>;
    print qq(HS: $HS)<br>;
    print qq(SC: $SC)<br>;
    print qq(AT: $AT)<br>;
}
exit(0);
    if ($family eq "ALL") {
        $family = "'C/D' or ST.family='H/ACA'"
    }
    else {
        $family = "'$family'";
    }
    $db_query = "SELECT ST.sno_name,HT.homolog_name FROM sno_Table ST,
+Homolog_Table HT,sno_Homologs SH,Organism O 
WHERE ST.sno_id=SH.sno_id AND SH.homolog_id=HT.homolog_id AND HT.org_i
+d=O.org_id and (ST.family=$family) and
O.organism='$TB'";
    my $sth = $dbh->prepare($db_query);
    $sth->execute();
    my$total = $sth->rows;
    print "<table border=1>\n
    <tr>
        <th>snoRNA</th>\n
        <th>Homolog</th>\n
    </tr>\n";
    while (my@row = $sth->fetchrow_array()){
        my$sno_name = $row[0];
        my$homolog_name = $row[1];
        print "<tr>\n<td>$sno_name</d><td>$homolog_name</td></tr>\n";
    }
    print "<tr>
        <th>TOTAL</th>\n
        <th>$total</th>\n
    </tr>\n";
    print "</table>";
