If you can't run scripts/programs on your server (in other words, use CGI), there's no way perl can do what you want on that server. Maybe you should just use "mailto:" HTML tags, though those are less than ideal.

Asking how to use perl for web scripting without having CGI access is impossible by definition. You have to be able to run scripts on a web server to use perl for CGI.

Good luck! If you have CGI (and perl) access somewhere else, you could set the script up there and have your HTML forms on your non-CGI server point to it.
