I have tried most of what has been suggested, but I still cannot get it to work.
It sends back NO error code, but it does not insert any data in my db

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -wT

use strict;
use CGI;
use DBI;

my $cgi = new CGI;
my $fornavn = $cgi->param("fornavn");
my $efternavn = $cgi->param("efternavn");
my $cpr = $cgi->param("cpr");
my $adresse = $cgi->param("adresse");
my $zip = $cgi->param("zip");
my $city = $cgi->param("city");
my $tjenestested = $cgi->param("tjenestested");


my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:um","root","") ||
die "Could not connect: $DBI::errstr\n";

my $sth = $dbh->prepare("INSERT into people (fornavn,
efternavn, cpr, adresse, zip, city, tjenestested)
values ($fornavn, $efternavn, $cpr, $adresse, $zip,
$city, $tjenestested)");

$sth->execute();
$sth->finish();


$dbh->disconnect;
