 perldoc DBI will help tons!!!

Here's a simple example, it doesn't do any error/input checking so you'll want to do 
that.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

 use strict;
 use DBI;
 use CGI qw(:standard);

 print header();

 my $dbh = DBI->connect('mysql:database:localhost','user','pass');

 my $name = $dbh->quote(param('name'));
 my $email = $dbh->quote(param('email'));

 if($dbh->do("INSERT INTO mytable VALUES(NULL,NOW(),$name,$email")) {
        print "Added record ok";
 } else { print "Couldn't add the record"; }

 $dbh->diconnect;
