Monks, I am new to cgi, i was working with simple cgi scripts and all worked fine, when i used dbi, i was stuck.

i have a database te, and i want to print $sno and $name in the database through cgi. when i ran thru dbi it was working fine, but with cgi it is not working.

i am getting error: file download, some files can harm your computer.......

Am i missing anything?

#!C:\perl\bin\perl
use strict;
use CGI;
use DBI;

my $q = new CGI;
print $q->header("text\html"),
$q->start_html(-title=>"test");

my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:te:localhost", {PrintError =>0, Rais
+eError =>0}) ;    #automatic error checking
#DBI->trace(2);
my $data = qq(select sl_no, name from det order by name);
my $sth = $dbh->prepare($data);
$sth->execute;
#while ( ( $sno, $name) = $sth->fetchrow_array ) {
#    ### Print out a wee message....
#    #print "Name is $sno\t$name\n";
#}
$dbh->disconnect;

print $q->p("$sno, $name");
print $q->end_html;
