Working with an intranet trying to set up a form e-mailer. From what I can gather - I would need a Perl Interpreter on the server and a CGI script to be able to use forms on a web page and have those responses either saved or sent to a e-mail inbox. Am I on the right track or am I missing something? Is Perl a free download? Do most web servers already have these CGI scripts and a Perl interpreter on them? Where can I get free CGI scripts? Thank-you.
