First, it will probably help more to read the Perl documentation:
perlfunc
perldoc CGI.pm
perldoc Carp.pm
perldoc DBI.pm
use strict;
# Makes you declare variables before you can use them.
# Creates a less flexible coding environment but forces
# you to think through your logic and use specific methods
# for carrying out operations, rather than giving you the
# flexibility and "fudge factor" that allows you to write
# less than optimal code and still have programs work.
use CGI qw(:standard);
# Use the CGI.pm module with standard (not extended) functionality.
# I don't think this would be any different than simply using
# ' use CGI; ' but I'm sure someone on the list will verify or
# dispute this.
use CGI::Carp;
# Use the Carp.pm module for error reporting
use DBI;
# Use the DBI.pm module to run SQL commands in your DB with Perl
CGI::use_named_parameters(1);
# I've never seen this one, sorry, can't help here
