A simple Perl Mail Script

[gus121]

Hi I am an ASP web developer and a complete newbie to CGI.

Unfortuatly I have taken over responsability of my company web site which is hosted on a linux server and is currently pure html/javascript. The local test server is a windows server.
I wish to create a form script that will mail content of a form to a fixed e-mail recipient using CGI perl. Then redirect to a given page. I only have a couple of hours to do it. Please see form on page

thanks in advance for your help.

Good luck getting this done in a few hours! If you have the Net::SMTP and CGI modules installed on your linux box then you're in good shape. These two modules will make your life much easier. CGI will allow to easily get the values in your form's fields and Net::SMTP will do the sending of the mail.

Here's the links to their docs:

You can also search the web for prewritten scripts that you could modify to suit your needs. I saw a couple recently called sendmail that shouldn't be too hard to modify.
