I LOVE feedback, it makes my day to read comments and suggestions, so if you try it out please let me know what you think.

Throw it away and start over :/

For example forums_section_threads.function and index.pl show everything that is wrong with your code :)

You forgot the ballad of bobby-tables.com: A guide to preventing SQL injection

You're rolling your own CGI.pm, use CGI or die;

You don't have enough functions ## load parent settings if avail should be a function, ## load pre plugins should be a function ... everything you repeat should be a function, ... skimmable code is the idea

Also no strict "refs"; and .function? see Simple Module Tutorial, Module::Pluggable, AutoLoader/AutoSplit...

Speaking of red flags, see

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.
