Can i assume this is a CGI script? How are you currently accessing any of the GET/POST'd variables? I think you're looking for something along the lines of: 
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI  qw/:standard/;
my $name = ...;    # param('name') maybe?
my $email = ...;   # param('email') maybe?
foreach my $cnt ( 1.. 5 ){
  my $fmail = param('fmail'.$cnt);
  my $fname = param('fname'.$cnt);
  next unless $fmail && $fname;
           open(MAIL,"| $sendmail") or die "Can't open sendmail $!";
         print MAIL "To: $fmail\n";
         print MAIL "From: $email\n";
         print MAIL "Subject: Refer A Friend\n";
         print MAIL "Dear $fname,\n\n";
         print MAIL "Your friend, $name at $email, visited out site re
+cently and thought you would be interested..\n\n";
         print MAIL "This is NOT spam. This email was sent by someone 
+who said they knew you.  Your email address is not stored in any data
+bases and will not be sold or given to anyone at any time.  This is t
+he only time you will receive an email from us.";
         close(MAIL);
}
