Short answer: No.

Longer answer: The web is a stateless protocol, in other words your script only runs and generates (usually text) output and then quits, the output gets sent to the client by your webserver, which assuming they are running a standard webbrowser to connect to your script then all they can see is the output, wheither that output is a command or not.

There are some alternatives but it really depends on your clients having their own CGI script in which to grab your output and then email it that way. You can do that, but I think that probably defeats the purpose of what you're trying to do.

Finally the easy solution to what I think you're trying to do (correct me if I'm wrong) :), if you just want to show the email as being from a certain website or user, you can make the From: field of your outgoing email whatever you want it to be, regardless of where you actually send it from. Have a look at MIME::Lite which is my prefered method for sending email (easy to do attachments as well if you need something like that)

Hope that helps
Chris
