"cgi-lib.pl" is as dead as Perl 4. CGI is a much more robust solution that takes advantages of Perl 5 features (such as references). I would instead write something like: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT

use CGI;
my $q = CGI->new();

my $fax      = $q->param('fax');
my $email    = $q->param('email');
print $q->header();

error('Please fill in all the required blanks') unless
    ($fax && $email);

mail();
# print success method, redirect?

sub error {
    print <<HTML;
<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>
<H3>$_[0]</H3><BR>
</BODY></HTML>
HTML
    exit 1;
}

I'd also use Mail::Send or Mail::Mailer instead of opening a pipe directly to sendmail.
