For such a setup, you need a simple form-mail script, like the NMS TFmail script, as provided by the excellent nms Perl CGI scripts. You set up a plain HTML page like:

<form action="http://www.example.com/cgi/mail.pl">
  Customer name:   <input type="text" name="customer_name" /><br />
  Customer street:   <input type="text" name="customer_street" /><br /
+>
  Customer ZIP:   <input type="text" name="customer_zip" /><br />

  Widgets: <input type="text" name="quantity_widgets" /><br />
  Doodads: <input type="text" name="quantity_doodads" /><br />
  Gadgets: <input type="text" name="quantity_gadgets" /><br />
  <input type="submit" />
</form>

and you will receive an email whenever a customer clicks the "submit" button. You are looking in the wrong aisle by looking for a "shopping cart solution", when all you seem to want is a simple script that mails you the results as a single form has been submitted.
