Sounds like time to debug. First, I would run it from the command line. If you're using CGI.pm (and you ought to be using it), you can execute your script and it will prompt you for name=value parameters (just like you'd see in the GET request). Next, I would print each of those out (print $q->param{$_) foreach keys $q->param(); or something like that), just to make sure you're grabbing the right data. Then, I would comment out the calls to your mailer, and simply print out the e-mail you'd be sending. If it's blank there, your error is earlier in the script. If it's not blank, your error is in the interface to your mailer.

That's just general troubleshooting. Perhaps if you posted the relevant parts of your program, we can be more specific.
