Happy Hollidays Perlmonks, I have a question with regards to MYSQL Databases. Currently, I am writing, editing, and pulling data from a pipe-delim "Flat-File" using cgi scripts. I would like to move the data over to a MYSQL DB and access them through the CGI scripts, of course with modifications. Does anyone have any suggestions or examples of CGI scripts that accomplish this? Here's a quick example of one of the scripts that I'd like to move to a MYSQL DB: 
open (ORGDB,"<$database");
@ODB=<ORGDB>;
close (ORGDB);

open (DATABASE,">$database");
@DB=<DATABASE>;
    foreach $rec (@ODB){
        chomp($rec);
        ($agent_name,$agent_phone,$agent_cell,$agent_email)=split(/\|/
+,$rec);
        if ($agent_name eq $input{'nagent_name'} && $agent_phone eq $i
+nput{'nagent_phone'} ){
        print DATABASE "$input{'agent_name'}|$input{'agent_phone'}|$in
+put{'agent_cell'}|$input{'agent_email'}|\n";
        }else{
        print DATABASE "$agent_name|$agent_phone|$agent_cell|$agent_em
+ail|\n";
        }
    }
close (DATABASE);

Thanks for any suggestions or help!~ Lis
