Hello All, I have created a web form that uses CGI to process/format the data to send in the background. With the help of some the Perl monks on this site I was able to get the form to send emails out based on Checkbox selection. Is there a way to also send out the email also based on text input. Let say I want to add an additional field call 'Optional email', this will be a text input, the user, if they want to send out addional emails to a user not part of the pre-defined checkbox field, they can manually type in the SMTP address and the form will parse or send it along with the selected checkbox... I don't know if this will work, but I know there's a way to do this. I was able to get this to work with the email (checkbox) selection, so what an addional input field.. Please help...thanks in advanced.

Below is a sample of some of the fields in my form.

SMTP group 1 : checkbox (this will send out to SMTP address if selecgted)
SMTP group 2: checkbox (this will send out if selected)
SMTP group 3: checkbox (this will send out if selected)
Optional Email to sendout: < input field > - this is what I want to add, if a user puts in an additonal SMTP address, this form will also send it to that address, along with the selected checkboxes.... 


if($in{'ChkboxName1'}){
$in{'form-to'} .= ',EmailGroup1@Domain.com';
}


if($in{'ChkboxName1'}){
$in{'form-to'} .= ',EmailGroup2@Domain.com';
}

if($in{'ChkboxName1'}){
$in{'form-to'} .= ',EmailGroup3@Domain.com';
}


$in{'form-to'} =~ s/^,//;
