Need help writing a script that interacts with a MySQL DB

Hello All! I am currently learning Perl CGI using a book I have. I now want to write a script that receives a person's name as an argument then, looks up the person in the database and returns the Name and Email. I need help with this part:
my @results; while (@results = $query1->fetchrow_array()) { foreach(@results) { if ($index = "1") { print "\nName: $_\n"; $index = "2" } else { if ($index = "2") { print "\nEmail: $_\n"; $index = "2" } } } } Here is what I already have:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use DBI; #my $username = 'root'; #my $dsn = 'DBI:mysql:mysql'; my $conn = DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:<DBName>;host=<ServerIP>', '<Username>', '<Password>', { RaiseError => 1 }) || die "Could not connect to the database"; my $console = $ARGV[0]; my $query = "SELECT * FROM People where Name = '$console'"; my $query1 = $conn->prepare($query) || die "Error preparing query" . $conn->errstr; $query1->execute || die "Error executing query" . $query1->errstr; print "$query"; my $index = "1"; my @results; while (@results = $query1->fetchrow_array()) { foreach(@results) { if ($index = "1") { print "\nName: $_\n"; $index = "2" } else { if ($index = "2") { print "\nEmail: $_\n"; $index = "2" } } } } if ($query1->rows == 0 ) { print "No Records", "\n"; } Maxwell D.
