I have read the docs, that's why I posted here for examples. For someone new to this, docs aren't very helpful. They are always written towards people who already know what they're doing or have a clue.

I have made an attempt but it fails. It says there's Undefined subroutine &main::NOW. Can you or anyone else tell me what's wrong? 

use DBI;
my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:$dbase", $mysql_user, $mysql_pass) o
+r
print DBI->errstr;

  my $data = qq(INSERT INTO searches (search, engine, time) values(?,?
+,?));
  my $sth = $dbh->prepare($data);
  $sth->execute("$search", "$engine", NOW());
