Did you look at any of the DataTables examples? Consider the following:

use DBI;
use JSON::XS;

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 $json;
$json->{data} = $dbh->selectall_arrayref('SELECT idnum, fname FROM dbu
+ser', {Slice => {}} );
warn encode_json( $json );

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

JSON isn't html: application/json, and why are you manually printing headers when you're using CGI which has a method for that?

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.
