I want to include a form mail on my website, I have found some cgi/pl scripts on the internet, used them and still doesn't seem to work.
Can you provide some detailed guidelines and if possible available cgi scripts I can used to upload to my ftp server to create a form mail. What is the best and simplest way for this? Thx..
Answer Hello Jack,
If you choose to work with some free cgi scripts, you can go to http://www.hotscripts.com where you'll find for sure something very useful and functional.
If you want to use a not-common mail form, you can use Perl Studio ( http://www.perl-studio.com ) which is building the administration and mail scripts based on the form you have.
Do not forget some important rules:
- always upload cgi/pl scripts in ASCII format ( not binary! )
- 99% of the cgi/pl scripts are requiring to be CHMOD-ed to 755 ( rwx-rx-rx )
- pay attention to the hash line ( the first line of the script, which is telling where the Perl interpreter is located on the server - #! usr/bin/perl OR #! usr/local/bin/perl )
I hope this will help you. For more details, please contact me again.
