Include statements

[The Voivod]

I am currently using a perl script to process form data. I don't want
to lose the functionality I have with this script but need to output
the data to a mysql db. Someone mentioned that I should use includes
to process the form with a php script. Can one form be processed by
two scripts at the same time. If so is this a bad idea? It sounds like
it would solve my problem if it would work. The problem is that I have
done nothing more than setup a fre script that requires no coding. I
don't even know how to implement an include statement.

Don't let confuse yourself, if you have Perl and MySQL, you do not need
anything else:

use DBI;

$::db_host = 'localhost';
$::db_name = 'dbname';
$::db_user = 'root';

$::db = DBI->connect(
"DBI:mysql:host =$::db_host;dat abase=$::db_nam e",
$::db_user) || die $DBI::errstr;


my $stm= $::db->prepare("SELEC T * FROM category ORDER BY category_id");
$stm->execute || die $::db->errstr;
my $LST = $stm->fetchall_hashr ef('category_id ');
