hello all. I have had some problems with some code i have been working on! I cant seem to get the SQL update to work for this particular script! i have tried everything i can think of, even parts of script found here in this site by others. im new to perl so any help would be great. thanks NOTE: html tags have been removed. 
$db->Sql ("SELECT * FROM Staff");
$hit=0;
while ($db->FetchRow())
{    
  my(%record) = $db->DataHash();    
  if ($FORM{'name'} eq $record{'login'} && $FORM    {'password'} eq $r
+ecord{'password'}) 

{            
$hit=1;
            
if ($FORM{'newpassword'} eq $FORM{'confirmpassword'})
{

-------------------------------                
PROBLEM 

#$sql = qq{INSERT INTO Dreamcpu(FirstName, LastName, Address, Email, P
+h +one, Username, Password) VALUES ('$first', '$last', '$adress', '$e
+mai +l','$phone', '$user', '$pass');}; 

#$sqlupdate = qq {UPDATE staff SET password=$FORM WHERE $FORM{'user'} 
+LIKE $record{'login'}";

my $query = "UPDATE staff SET password=$FORM{'newpassword'} WHERE $FOR
+M={'name'} eq $record{'login'}";

#$dbh->do (qq{ UPDATE `staff` SET `password` = $FORM{'newpassword'}})"
+;

$dbh->do(sqlupdate);
$db->close();
----------------------------
#OK PASSWORD CHANGED

}

#Please Use Your Browsers Back Button To Re-Enter    
$db->Close();
