It clears things up a bit. You want to follow portion of my previous reply that discusses CGI, and the portion that discusses DBI. Basically the param() method of CGI will allow you to pull info from a web form. And DBI facilitates interfacing with your database in a fairly uniform way. You'll connect to the database, prepare a query, execute the query, and print the results as part of the webpage. Upon receiving information from the webpage, you'll prepare an insert, execute the insert, and probably print a confirmation screen.

Be sure to do the required reading mentioned above, and feel free to ask any specific questions where you need additional clarification.
