use CGI; it takes care of your input from html forms and takes does your sub parseform{} for you. Throw away the sub parseform{} and look at the CGI module. Type 'cgi' into the search bar and read up on the docs.

UPDATE:
email.pl
this code is self explaintory, and eaisily modifiable. 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI qw/:standard/;


$to=param('to');
$from=param('from');
$fromhandle=param('fromhandle');
$subject=param('subject');
$contents=param('contents');

if (param()) 
{
open(MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t") || die "cant open";
print MAIL "To: $to \nFrom: $from ($fromhandle)\n";
print MAIL "Subject: $subject \n\n";
print MAIL "$contents\n";
close(MAIL);

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "To:$to<br>\n";
print "From:$from  rather know as: \'$fromhandle\'<br>\n";
print "Subject: $subject<br>\n\n\n";
print "$contents";
}

else {
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

print <<EOF;
