I'm not sure what you are asking. The best docs are perldoc
HTML::FillInForm, of course. But, it's this simple:
my $page = $template->output;
print $fif->fill(
scalarref => \$page,
fobject => $q,
);
Where $q is an object that has a param() method for looking up values.
Commonly it's a CGI object, but it can be anything you like.

Sure, just make $q->param() fetch the data from the database -- or from
some data structure like a hash that was populated from the database.
Is that what you were asking?
