I don't get the question..

you just have to compare the values out from the database with the
values from the user input.

my $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT usremail, usrStatus from users where
usrName = ?");
$sth->execute(param{'name'});
my ($email,$status) = ($sth->fetchrow_array);
print "invalid login" if (param{"email"} ne $email || $active ne 'Y');

Something like that, not tested at all.
