in reply to Newbie needs help with email CGI script

I've never used 'cgi-lib.pl', so I'd use CGI.pm instead ;-)
Try replacing everything from the shebang to the first if statement with:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w eval 'exec perl -w -S $0 ${1+"$@"}' if 0; # not running under some shell require 5; use strict; use CGI; my $cgi = new CGI; my $email = $cgi->param('visitor_email_address'); my $password = $cgi->param('visitor_password'); print $cgi->header('text/plain');
Also, if you want to check the validity of the email address people submit, using Email::Valid is much more reliable than using a regexp.
Hope this helps ;-)
