does your script generate a form? if so then just make a link on your site to the file like this http://www.xyz.com/cgi-bin/formail.cgi and it should work as long as the permissions are set correctly in the cgi-bin. also you probably will need to edit the formail script and modify certain variables in it. When you open it up there should be some comments saying that you must change this. You will need to contact your hosting company to get the information needed. Most commonly it will be: perl path, smtp server or location to sendmail on server, and email address info if you post some code from the formmail it would be easier to give you more precise instructions.
