I have a Perl script which sends form mail and uses Sendmail - the form and script were done for a friend's web site - I desinged the site and wrote the script for him. When I transferred the files to my friend's web hosting service, the script worked fine, but didn't send any mail - I could see that it couldn't find 'sendmail' using the path I had defined. So, after four calls to interstar.net, I found out that they do not use sendmail - they use something called CDONTS - neither I nor another programmer I asked about it, had ever heard of it. The rep from Interstar sent me some code to add to my script, but it doesn't look right to me. Could you please give me some info about CDONTs (haven't been able to get the info from online searching - have found only references to CDONTs and ASP or VB script). Can I modify my existing Perl script to use them or not?? I need this info pretty quickly. I currently have the form on my friend's web site invoking the cgi script in my cgi-bin directory at work so that it will work for now. Thanks, guys, very much. BJ Perkins FCLA Gainesville, FL
