Your question reads like an `if` statement already; so the program logic is there. What you need to do now is put together a fairly elementary control structure and consider the advice that is posted here: How do I send an email with Perl (including an attachment)? MB	[reply] [d/l]

This question was asked "verbatim" on the perl.beginners list, and I gave him/her a rudimentary script. I guess the poster is looking for a "free script writing" service. These kind of simple CGI scripts are so common that you could find 10 or 20 good examples if you searched groups.google.com for "perl cgi mail". You could also look in the Snippets section here on Perlmonks, and look thru Grinders snippet index at snippet index. Then look for things under mail....like "Generic Mail Form Processor" for a start.	[reply]

I have used Mail::Sendmail to good effect in a few scripts. It takes a hash with all of the various parts, and then does the rest. Example: `use Mail::Sendmail; my %mail = ( Subject => "test email subject", From => "mailchecker@localhost.localdomain", To => "myself@domain.com", body => "This message is a test. Whee!" ); sendmail %mail;` [download] I also use HTML::Template for the emails that get sent since that generate cleaner code (for me, at least).	[reply] [d/l]
