Tbob has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I saw this simple email form; I would like to put it on my site. It contains 5 spaces: 2 radial buttons and a check box. I want to us it to send a link to my webpage to friends and relatives or either the full page. Out of the five spaces, there is a space for the person’s email address, a space for my name, a space for my email and a text area for my comments. The email form starts with a script <SCRIPT language=JavaScript>, I don’t know if I can find a perl script to make it work for me. I seen it work at a website, but I don’t know how to make it work for me. This email form can be seen at http://www.htmlgoodies.com at the end of their tutorials. I am new to that stuff; I would like to learn the basics, enough to make it work.

    I would recommend Ovid's CGI course as a good place to start, in terms of learning the basics.

    It sounds like you are mostly just interested in doing this one thing and not necessarily learning all of the basics of perl. In that case, you should check out http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net. It's like Matt's script archive minus the suckiness and security holes. Their form mail script is probably just what you're looking for.
