No, and you didn't say so either. It's just that we get
a little twitchy here about that sort of request. You've
nothing to apologise for.

Perl can do all of the things you need, but first you
need to know how to write Perl. You can learn from this
newsgroup, but that would be slow. The best way is to
read either a book or the installed documentation. We
don't even know what platform you're working with or if
you have Perl installed.

Try

  perldoc perl

and see if that helps. Beyond that, there are many books
that can be recommended depending on your experience.

To reach your goal you will also need to learn about at
least the DBI and CGI modules, but learn Perl first. And
don't forget that you can complain if somebody else has
set you an unreasonable target without asking you.

HTH,

Rob
