Hi Monks, I have a problem I want perl to insert data into a mysql database with data from more than one table. I'm also having form connecting problems, but thatll come later. 
$dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:mysql:Database','root','password')
or die "Connection Error: $DBI::errstr\n";

my $sth = $dbh->prepare("insert into studenttbl(fname, lname, grade, D
+OB, email, tel_no, membertype, username) values ('$fname','$lname','$
+grade','$DOB','$email', '$tel_no', '$membertype', '$username') "); 
$sth->execute();
my $sth2 = $dbh->prepare("insert into logintbl(username, password) val
+ues('$username', '$password') ");
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<h1> thanks for registering </h1>";
}

THE ABOVE DOES NOT WORK- How can I get perl to connect to more than one table and then insert the values in?

ive searched online, but what I try never seems to work for example you cant make two mysql statements because they clash with perls ';' end statement and therefore with mysql statements ending ';' this seems to break it. i'm whittering again! please help!
