Hello everybody,
I have a form that works with a cgi-handler in perl
It emails the data that people fill in. Now I want to receive that data directly in a excel-sheet and emailed to me.
Is this possible? And how do you do it?

cheers & happy holidays!
Knudde Günther
this is my code in the cgi handler

use CGI;

my $sendmail = "/usr/sbin/sendmail";

my $query = new CGI;
my $recipient = &clean($query->param('recipient'));
my $subject = &clean($query->param('subject'));
my $nieuwsbriefnaam = &clean($query->param('nieuwsbriefnaam'));
my $nieuwsbriefemail = &clean($query->param('nieuwsbriefemail'));

if (($nieuwsbriefnaam eq "") || ($nieuwsbriefemail eq ""))
{
&error("Email Rejected",
"Please fill out all fields provided. Back up to the " .
"previous page to try again.");
}
if (!open(IN, "$emailConfPath")) {
&error("Configuration Error",
"The file $emailConfPath does not exist or cannot be " .
"opened. Please read the documentation before installing " .
"email.cgi.");
}
my $returnpage;
