This is what i tried, and still not working. it just hangs on Processing...

i first made sure that i get well structured json


#!/usr/bin/perl -wT

use strict;
use warnings;
use DBI;
use JSON;
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser warningsToBrowser);

my $host =   "host";
my $usr =    "user";
my $pwd =    "pwd";
my $dbname = "datname";


my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:$dbname:$host", $usr, $pwd, {
                                  RaiseError => 1,
                                  }) or die $DBI::errstr;
                                  
my $Test = $dbh->prepare("SELECT idnum, fname FROM dbuser");
$Test->execute();


my (@data,$idnum,$fname);
 
 
 foreach (@data = $Test->fetchrow_array()) {
    $idnum = $data[0];
    $fname = $data[1];

}

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
my $json = encode_json(
  { $idnum, $fname}
);
print $json;

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.
