I have found a free e-mail form supplier tele-pro.co.uk and am having serious
difficulty with it. I am running on windows server supporting PEARL and when
designing my e-mail forms I then have 2 scripts to paste into my site. The
first script is the easy e-mail form HTML which I paste into the web page and
you can then see the form. The second script is where I am having problems,
the CGI script. Where do I paste this to in the site? I have no idea where
this script is supposed to go. Any help would be very much appriciated

Cheers
 
It goes in the cgi-bin. If you don't have one, create it. Of course, the
proper permissions for the cgi-bin and script will have to be set on the
host server.

You don't paste the script into your code, it is a stand alone script (it is
not like javascript, php or asp which can intermix with HTML)

It is linked through the "Action" of the form as in <form method="post"
action="http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/emailthis.cgi>

However perl scripts can have snippets of HTML code in them, but Perl is
difficult to learn if you're a novice.
