1. What is Form Mail Script ?

FormMail is a universal WWW form to E-mail gateway. There is only one required form input tag which must be specified in order for this script to work with your existing forms. Other hidden configuration fields can also be used to enhance the operation of FormMail on your site. Version 1.6 of FormMail contains a few minor bug fixes, optimized code and more comments. The biggest change in this version is that by default, form fields are now sorted as they appear in the form. Error pages were also beautified a little and two new configuration fields were created. Read the History for a more complete list of changes. The script, FormMail.pl, needs to be placed in your server's cgi-bin and the anonymous WWW user must have the ability to read/execute the script. If you do not have access to your server's cgi-bin, yet you can execute cgi scripts, you may want to try adding a .cgi extension to the FormMail.pl, so you could move it to FormMail.cgi.

CGI (Common Gateway Interface) scripts add interactivity to your website. CGI scripts allow you to collect information from your visitors with forms, make your site searchable, run an online message board, and much more. You can write your own scripts in Perl, use the many scripts that are pre-installed on your server, or download others from the Web.

First of all you create a directory under your web directory by the name of 'cgi-bin', where u should upload all your scripts. For the perl interpreter you should put the first line as :- #!/usr/bin/perl.
Now if you want this script to be executed in the browser give the rights to the file as 755. You can give rights to your cgi file even through ftp.
Just right click on the file and choose chmod. It will open a small popup where u can give Owner, Group Other permissions. For 755, under Owner choose Read Write checkboxes. Under Group choose Read. Under Other choose Read.
