It does appear you learned that CGI.pm is better, so please remove those offensive comments ;)

Also, since you're bothering to use CGI; instead of: 

    print $cgi->header( "text/html" );
    print qq~<HTML>
        <BODY>~;
    if ($header eq "yes"){
        print qq~
        <HTML>
        <HEAD>
        <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html">
        <TITLE>MySQL Database sorter.</TITLE>
        </HEAD>
        <BODY bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
        <CENTER><H2>MySQL DataBase Sorter</A></H2>
        <br>~;

use the CGI.pm equivalents to generate your html.
