Ahh - so simple. Thank you superdoc.

I now have a working script. Unfortunately couldn't use TFMal because I don't have permission for sendmail. I ended up with the following. Probably a bit clunky but it works.

#! /usr/bin/perlml
use Mail::Sendmail;
use CGI;

@values=();

&parse;
&send;
&thanks;

sub parse {

    my $q = new CGI;
    my $data = $q->param('POSTDATA');
    @values = split (/[\s=]+/, $data);
    
}


sub send {
  
    $mail{'smtp'} = "smtp.###.co.za";
    $mail{'port'} = 465;
    $mail{'auth'} = {user => '###@###.co.za', password => '###'}; 

    %mail = (
                To          => '###@###.co.za',
                From        => "@values[3]",
                Message     => "@values[1]\n\n@values[5]"
            );
    sendmail(%mail) or die $Mail::Sendmail::error;
}

 sub thanks {
     print "Content-type: text/html \n\n";
     print <<END;
