i have two pages one in php(index.php) and another one in Perl(dbcon.pl).

basically i want my php file to show only the UI and all the data operations would be done in Perl file.

i have tried in index.pl

<?php include("dbcon.pl");?>
<html>
<br/>PHP</br>
</html>

and dbcon.pl has

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use DBI;

use CGI::Simple;
my $cgi = CGI::Simple->new;
my $dsn = sprintf('DBI:mysql:database=%s;host=%s','dbname','localhost');

my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn,root =>'',{AutoCommit => 0,RaisError=> 0});


my $sql= "SELECT * FROM products";
my $sth =$dbh->prepare($sql);
$sth->execute   or die "SQL Error: $DBI::errstr\n";
while (my @row = $sth->fetchrow_array){
print $cgi->header, <<html;
<div>&nbsp;@row[0]&nbsp;@row[1]&nbsp;@row[2]&nbsp;@row[3]&nbsp;@row[4]</div>
html
}

but when i run index.php in browser it prints all the code in dbcon.pl file instead of executing it

how to overcome this problem?

note: i am running this in windows environment

is there any other way to do this?
