My guess is that your webserver is sending no MIME type or that your script is not outputting the correct headers.

Another thing could be that your Perl script is not seen as executable by your webserver, either because your webserver does not allow scripts to be executed, or because your script does not reside in the cgi-bin directory or because your script is not set executable.

Make sure that your script is executable, that it is in a place where other scripts are already working.

Then, make sure your script outputs Content-Type: text/html as its first header line, possibly by running it locally from the command line and looking at the output.

I'm confused what you mean by the line:

<?php mail("myemailaddress@ishere", "Checked In ", "stoped by your sit
+e") ; ?>
