Hello! Its me!

And I thought this would be easy....
Well, I'm not getting there! I have a mailto: form that I've already got running, I'm needing an autoresponder or at least I'd like to have one.
So, I'm trying to customize a script??? ie: codebrain.com Alpha E mail.
In the "Settable Variables" - I don't know what it means:

URL to go to if a 'foreign' referer calls the script
$EvilReferer = " ???????????

E-mail address to send intake form to (your address)
# If not using PERL 5, escape the @ thus: \@ instead of @
$YourEmail ='name@domain.com'; ??????????

then I get to this area of
Do not edit below this line ............ LOL
well, its not the form I'm using for my purpose

And see that the fields are like -
$Name = $in{'Name'};
$Email = $in{'Email'};

My prob is, that I don't quite know how to translate my form to the .pl file.
I'm done with the customization of the rest, that part was easy ...
its the .pl file ;)

Anyone up for the challenge? ........plzzzzzzzzzz

thanks

I'm not sure I want to try that one, but I can refer you to a form mail program that's better, and has an autoresponder email feature built in. Try

Thanks tracy, I'll try out this free stuff first ;) much appreciated. (I'm a "starving artist).

Almost done with the modifications.
Waitin 4 my admin to tell me where my mailprogram path is.
Figured that the fields '$Name = $in{'Name'};' are from the input form of name=Name. But what are the
\n";
\n\n"; ??????????

the original form has only three entries
Name Email and Message
my form requires 12 entries in total
so I don't quite get those \n thingys.
How does one know when its one \n or two or three?

thanks

\n is a newline (or carriage return/linefeed). Tracy Dryden
