I am really sorry that it is not working for you. Actually, I created a temptable and tried executing the code that you are using;

my $ref = $dbh->selectall_arrayref("
           select name, email from testtable") || die $dbh->errstr;

foreach my $person (@{$ref}) {
        my ($name,$emai) = @{$person};

        print "<font color=\"red\" >Name :  $name  </font>";
        print "<font color=\"blue\"> Email : $email </font><br>";     
+   
}

It runs just fine even with the "Dr. John Bull". Please check the database if some special characters are not slipped thru.
here is the output
Name : Dr. John Bull Email :

• 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).
