Hello Perl monks,

I was wondering, as a beginner, on how to make a Perl script that checks if the account and password match the stored values in the MySQL table so it will proceed? else, it won't proceed ? 

#table
l---------l----------l
l_account_l_password_l
l---------l----------l
l__name___l___123____l
l---------l----------l

#form
<form method="get" action="" onsubmit="return formValidation(this)">  
Account: <input type="text" name="account"><br>
Password: <input type="password" name="password"><br> 
<input type="submit" value="login" name="check">

#perl
$account = param("account");
$password = param("password");


if($check)
{

    $querycheck = $dbh->prepare("select * from data");
    $querycheck->execute;

    if($account != "account" and $password != "password")
    {
    print "Login failed. Account and password do not match.";
    }


return true;
}
