WHOA!! WHOA!!

I don't believe that your .pl script is working fine?
put these lines... 

use strict;
use warnings;

at the beginning of your script! 
use DBI;
my $driver = "mysql"; 
my $database = "marketplace_perl";
my $dsn = "DBI:$driver:database=$database";
my $userid = "root";
my $password = "root";
my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $userid, $password )
   or die $DBI::errstr;###### 
my $dbh=connect_db(); ######### WHAT???#### !!!! #######
## my $dbh is defined twice!!!
my $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT UserEmail,UserPassword FROM pj_user wh
+ere UserEmail=? and UserPassword=?");
$sth->execute($UserEmail,$UserPassword);

You redefine "my $dbh". That is a bad thing.

Your package is malformed.

Show the code that calls the functions in the .pm module.
There aren't any executable statements in your .pm module and the subroutine names are not exported.
