I'm not exactly sure what your question is. Does your code work? Does it not work? What results do you get? What's the next step? Are you asking for critique, or do you want us to finish your project?

There are a lot of good books on using the DBI and CGI modules, which will give solid examples from which to learn.

I am not a major fan of templating systems for HTML, but this is exactly the sort of nightmare code which template tools help you remove from your programs. See HTML::Template for one system, though there are other popular ones as well. 

   print "<TR>";   
   print "<TD></TD>";
   print "</TR>";
   print "<TR>";
   print "<TD align=left>Name</TD>";
   print "<TD></TD>";
   print "<TD></TD>";
   print "</TR>";
   print "<TR>";   
   print "<TD></TD>";
   print "<TD></TD>";
   print "</TR>";
