The code you show for the page is the source code of the page, before it is being parsed by the FrontPage extensions in the server.

The code that is then actually sent out to the browser will look more like a normal form, i.e. the 

s-email-format="TEXT/PRE"
b-email-label-fields="TRUE"

[download]

and such is converted into HTML form elements.

What you need to do is to select "Preview in Browser" in FrontPage and then "View source" in the browser to see how the form has been rendered by the FP extensions. There you'll find what parameter names and values you'll you need to emulate with your perl script. In order for "Preview in Browser" to work correctly with bots, it must go through a web server installed with frontpage extensions. In some setups it just reads the page from disk...
