Julia,

What type of forms are you using?  Is is an html based front end?  You may
want to check out the relatively new book on DBI,
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/perldbi/.  Or, go to www.perl.com and select
the database category in the search drop down in the upper right hand
corner.  Also, you can perldoc the sybperl or dbi modules.  Also,
http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/docs/index.html is a great
resource.

Hope this helps.

Paul
