Thanks all for your help
I have tried to implement what you guys have advised heres the code:

#!c:/perl/bin/perl -wT

use strict;
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use vars qw($Query $sth $dbh $Value @results @row);
$Query = new CGI( );
use DBI;
$dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:exelstock')
or die "Cannot connect: " . $DBI::errstr;

$Value = $Query->param('input');

$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM stock WHERE name=$Value");
$sth = $dbh->execute();
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<HTML>\n";
print "<BODY>\n";
while (@results = $sth->fetchrow_array) { print "@row\n";
}
$sth = $dbh->finish();
$dbh->disconnect();
print "</HTML>\n";
print "</BODY>\n";

Heres the error i get now...any ideas???

Can't locate object method "execute" via package "DBI::db" at c:\PROGRA~1\APACHE~1\apache\cgi-bin\project2.cgi line 23.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
