I don't know whether I should be asking a different forum about this but here goes...

I have put in a form in my web page and am using some cgi script to redirect and mail the form back me. I have put in the code below (obviously all the *'s are correct in my proper form). The problem is that I am not getting any data returned to my email. I just get the following:

</form>

Any ideas about this? I am tearing my hair out so it would be much appreciated!

i dont know much about perl, but try removing this:
enctype="text/plain"

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull
 
the real file to look at is:
mailform.pl
that should be renamed into .cgi and chould be place in your /cgi-bin

All the best!
