cgi,perl,asp?
Hi, well I've uped the learning curve for myself and found a host - it's a Win2K system and I can use perl for form processing - what does this mean? How do I do it? Sorry if this sounds really dumb. I got hold of a form.pl script but haven't got the faintest idea of what to do with it.

Re: cgi,perl,asp?
It just means that you can use perl script to submit form.
Seems that your account supports only static pages (HTML) and in any cases if you need to receive emails from the site, then perl script should be used.

Re: cgi,perl,asp?
Could you be a little more specific on what you are trying to do? A formmailer is usually used to email a form somebody fills out on your site.
For example:
Code::
<form action="formmailer.pl" method="post"> <input type="text" name="your_name"> <input type="text" name="your_email"> <input type="submit"> </form>
Perl is quite a step ahead, considering that you just created your first homepage. But anyway, please tell us what you want to do.
