Looks like you're going to want to investigate:
Getting CGI parameters (look at the CGI.pm module);
file permissions, locking, etc.;
sending mail (possibly, if you want to send the form through
mail) (look at Mail::Mailer, Mail::Sendmail, Net::SMTP).
Look at the CGI
reference section on perl.com. You may also want to look
at The Idiot's Guide
to Solving Perl CGI Problems.
You need to decide how you want to store the form on the
server. In a file? In a database? If the latter, take a
look at DBI. | [reply] |
I have d/l'd the CGI.pm module (with documentation)
Not sure about "locking"
No, I'm sending this to a server (no email) and into a database of some sort (ok, i see an O'Reilly on DBI but according to the preface I should be at a lower level (bought "Learning Perl", another O'Reilly).
I will investigate The CGI reference section on perl.com and went through The Idiot's Guide to Solving Perl CGI Problems.
Thanks Monk.
