Hello Perl Monks. I am coding cgi for an Application Company need. My background is Unix and Red Hat. I am testing my code on a fedora 33 and 34. I tested the 34 a few days ago. I am writing a cgi send mail I found a way. The issue is giving a complete form in html into send mail through cgi. I cannot see clearly today my mistake done today.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict:;
use 5.010;
use warnings;
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use MIME::Lite;

$to = 'abcd@gmail.com';
$from = 'webmaster@yourdomain.com';
$subject = 'Test Email';
$message = 'This is test email sent by Perl Script';
$message2 = '<h1>This is test email sent by Perl Script</h1>';

my $q = new CGI;

print $q->header;
print $q->start_html(-title => 'A web form');
print $q->start_form;

print $q->start_form(
        -name    => 'main_form',
        -method  => 'GET',
        -enctype => &CGI::URL_ENCODED,
        -onsubmit => 'return javascript:validation_function()',
        -action => '/where/your/form/gets/sent', # Defaults to 
                                                 # the current program
    );
    


#without any parameters
<form method="post" action="/cgi-bin/yourprogram.pl" 
          enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">   

print $q->end_form;
 

open(MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t");
 
# Email Header
print MAIL "To: $to\n";
print MAIL "From: $from\n";
print MAIL "Subject: $subject\n\n";
print MAIL "Content-type: text/html\n";

$msg = MIME::Lite->new(
                 From     => $from,
                 To       => $to,
                 Cc       => $cc,
                 Subject  => $subject,
                 Data     => $message
                 );
                 
$msg->send;

# Email Body
print MAIL $message;

close(MAIL);
print "Email Sent Successfully\n";
exit;
