Hello All! I am currently learning Perl CGI using a book I have. I now want to write a script that receives a person's name as an argument then, looks up the person in the database and returns the Name and Email. I need help with this part:

my @results;
while (@results = $query1->fetchrow_array()) {
    foreach(@results) {
        if ($index = "1") {
            print "\nName: $_\n";
            $index = "2"
        } else { 
            if ($index = "2") {
                print "\nEmail: $_\n";
                $index = "2"
            }
        }
    }
}

Here is what I already have:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use DBI;


#my $username = 'root';
#my $dsn = 'DBI:mysql:mysql';
my $conn = DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:<DBName>;host=<ServerIP>', '<Userna
+me>', '<Password>', { RaiseError => 1 }) || die "Could not connect to
+ the database";
my $console = $ARGV[0];


my $query = "SELECT * FROM People where Name = '$console'";
my $query1 = $conn->prepare($query) || die "Error preparing query" . $
+conn->errstr;


$query1->execute || die "Error executing query" . $query1->errstr;
print "$query";

my $index = "1";

my @results;
while (@results = $query1->fetchrow_array()) {
    foreach(@results) {
        if ($index = "1") {
            print "\nName: $_\n";
            $index = "2"
        } else { 
            if ($index = "2") {
                print "\nEmail: $_\n";
                $index = "2"
            }
        }
    }
}

if ($query1->rows == 0 ) {
print "No Records", "\n";
}
