Hi, I am trying to write a script/cgi that will take the form data from my website and send it in an email. I don't want to use the typical "mailto" HTML tag to do it. I want to kind of remain anonymous and do it in the background... I am using DreamWeaver to create my "Contact Us" page. I am using the Form tag with a Submit button. There are only 4 fields: First Name, Last Name, email, and Message. I have my website on Go Daddy. So, I may have to get some mail server info from them.?.? Or maybe the path to Perl? Here is the code from my webpage: 

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="scripts/form.pl">
        <table width="436" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" c
+ellspacing="0" id="contactUs">
          <tr>
            <td width="94">First Name</td>
            <td width="318">
              <p>
                <input name="firstName" type="text" id="firstName" siz
+e="20" maxlength="20" />
            </p></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>Last Name</td>
            <td><p><input name="lastName" type="text" id="lastName" si
+ze="20" maxlength="20" /></p></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>e-mail</td>
            <td><p><input name="email" type="text" id="email" value="N
+ot working yet... Sorry" size="50" maxlength="50" /></p></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>Message</td>
            <td><p><textarea name="message" id="message" cols="50" row
+s="5"></textarea></p></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>&nbsp;</td>
            <td><p>
              <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Su
+bmit" />
              &nbsp;&nbsp;
            <input type="reset" name="Reset" id="button" value="Reset"
+ /></p></td>
          </tr>
        </table>
      </form>
