Implement Form Mailer
Description:
Mat's FormMail program has been widely distributed and used since 1996.  A group of London PERL programmers (nms) have revised and updated his basic script.  So I thought it would be fun to try to implement it within CuteSITE Builder!

This is an alternative to using the CSB Form Wizard.

Prerequisities:  

1. This is a CGI/PERL script, so your web provider must support CGI/PERL scripts (most do!) as well as access to the standard Sendmail utility

2. You need an FTP utility to upload the file "FormMail.pl" and configure it for executable permision (chmod +x). I would suggest using either WsFTP or CuteFTP.

How to use:
1. First go to the nms FormMail web site to download the files required

2. Print out and review both the README and the EXAMPES documents.

3. Edit the FormMail.pl file to reflect your email address and other options, and then upload the file to the CGI-BIN directory on your web site

4. Configure your web page to create the form and call the FormMail.pl utility.

Example:
What is your Email address ?
What is your name ?
What is your favorite animal ?
