I suggest you to use HTML::Template and build your editable table like this (untested):

<form>
<TMPL_LOOP NAME=entries>
<table id="CD" class="default">
  <tr class="grey">
    <td class="small">ID:</td>
    <td><TMPL_VAR NAME=id></td>

    <td class="small">Title:</td>
    <td>
      <input type="Text" name="title" value="<TMPL_VAR NAME=title>" />
    </td>

    <td class="small">Comment:</td>
    <td>
      <input type="Text" name="comment" value="<TMPL_VAR NAME=comment>
+" />
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>
<br />
</TMPL_LOOP>
<input type="Submit" name="Update" value="Update">
<input type="reset">
</form>

If your script is called with an action 'find', you query your database and fill the table. If the action is 'update' you use the params and update-query the db.
