I *knew* I shouldn't check this on my day off, but I couldn't resist. My understanding of the danger of formmail.pl was that it posed an increased risk of spam to the people who used it--in other words, *we* might be more vulnerable to spam. And since we don't get all that much to begin with, I figured it was OK to let it hang for awhile until I had time to change over.

You know, I'm a freaking English major who is trying to figure this stuff out, and I hesitate with every ounce in me to ask questions because it effing hurts. You know? To be called a sociopath. Christ.

What is it with these forums? Why do people have to treat you like you're either trying to get them to give you the world, or you should understand already what you are trying to figure out?

I apologize for being ignorant, but that's just what I am. And no, I do not have all day every day to learn and think about Perl. I do my best. I'll try the "drop-in" replacement, but honestly, that doesn't seem to be the way this stuff works.

Maybe I'm wasting my time with Perl. Seems like the whole thing could be accomplished with php.
