I have active perl installed, the latest http apache and the DBI for mysql. All this on a windows xp machine.
I have managed to read and write to mysql tables but i jumped back a little and started again and tried to run this code: 


#!c:/perl/bin/perl -wt

use strict;

use CGI;

$Query = new CGI;

use DBI;

$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:exelstock")
      or die "Cannot connect: " . $DBI::errstr;
      

$Value = $Query->param('Value');

$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM stock WHERE 

name='$Value'");

$sth = $dbh->execute();

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

print "<HTML>\n";

print "<BODY>\n";

while (@results = $sth->fetchrow_array) {
    print "@row\n";
    
}

$sth = $dbh->finish();

$dbh->disconnect();

print "</BODY>\n";
print "</HTML>\n";
