Suggestion:
Put your instert inside a transaction like this:
[snip]
#begin transaction
$dbh->begin_work;
eval{
#you can decide to combine prepare() and execute() into do()
$dbh->do( "insert into userinfo values ('$fvalue','$lvalue','$email')" );
$dbh->commit;
};
#check if the transaction went ok
if($@){
$dbh->rollback;
print $cgi->p(" alert('Execution Not Done')
" );
}
else{
print $cgi->p( " alert('Execution Done')
" );
}
