Greetings Thargor,
I am also a newbie, and have needed to to do something very similar many times. Here is the format I usually use.
############################################################
sub getInfo
############################################################
{
my ($dbh, $sth, %data);
$dbh=DBI->connect('DBI:ODBC:my_table', { RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit =
+> 0 });
$sth = $dbh->prepare( "Select * FROM my_table" );
$sth->execute;
$sth->bind_columns( \( @data{ @{$sth->{NAME_lc} } } )); #----Saves sp
+eed by binding columns to their values.
$sth->{'ChopBlanks'} =1; #----Removes extra spaces from fixed char
+fields.
$data{$_} = (defined $data{$_}) ? $data{$_} : '' for keys %data; #---
+-Changes null values to "" as per jZed to avoid warnings
while ($sth->fetch) {
print qq(<TR>\n);
print qq(<TH>$data{col1name}</TH>\n); #use real column names
print qq(<TH>$data{col2name}</TH>\n);
print qq(<TH>$data{col3name}</TH>\n);
print qq(<TH>$data{col4name}</TH>\n);
print qq(</TR>\n);
}
$sth->finish();
$dbh->disconnect(); ----Needed to free up system resources.
}
Hope this also helps.

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.
