Running Perl script in the backend from Html

Following is my HTML template:

Web page

And the Perl Script script.pl is:

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

my $query = new CGI();
my $Value = $query->param('field');

my $dbh = DBI->connect('server address', 'username','password');
my $sth = $dbh->prepare("UPDATE tablename SET columnname = '$Value'
where condition;");
$sth->execute();
$sth->finish();
$dbh->disconnect;

if i click on the submit button, another webpage is opened and the
perl script is executed.
is there any way so that the perl script runs in the backend? ( so
that another webpage doesnt pop-up). how can i modify the above html
code in order to run the perl script in the backend?

print $query->header(-status=>'204 No Content');
