You should be aware (and wary) that Matt Wrights scripts, and especially the FormMail script, have many security holes. The FormMail script can be used easily to mail spam in your name all over the world.

There are replacements that are more secure and that are programmed in a much better style than the scripts by Matt Wright.

I suggest as a first step that you move over to the NMS scripts as replacements to Matts scripts. As the second step, you should either learn how to use the Perl mail modules from CPAN, as there are Net::SMTP, Mail::Sendmail or other stuff a search or Super Search turns up on "mail" on this site.

As for your strategy of asking questions, the quality of the answers you get depends directly on the quality of your question. turnsteps home node has many good hints, Are there questions to basic? contains a discussion on how we could approach answers, and (again) Super Search will most likely turn up more hints on how to ask good questions that give you the answers you really need.

Here are some shallow hints your question should give to the person :

perl -MHTTP::Daemon -MHTTP::Response -MLWP::Simple -e ' ; # The $d = new HTTP::Daemon and fork and getprint $d->url and exit;#spider ($c = $d->accept())->get_request(); $c->send_response( new #in the HTTP::Response(200,$_,$_,qq(Just another Perl hacker\n))); ' # web
