Thanks a bunch for everyone�s input; I didn�t have to wait long at all
to receive an answer from all of you knowledgeable people.  A few questions:
    What smtp server software would you recommend I use to send email to
myself (localhost)?  I have win98se, apache, activestate_perl.
    And, How do I use CGI.pm to parse a form�s output?  Do I just do:

#!c:/perl/bin/perl �w

use CGI.pm

# Then something like

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
            print header;
            foreach $key (sort keys(%formdata)) {
                       print "<P>The field named<B>$key</B>
                       contained <B>$formdata{$key}</B>";
                       }

##### Does anyone have a nicely customizable form validation script I can
use instead of �reinventing� one?

Also, it seems that there are a number of programmers on this list who feel
passionate about validating scripts server-side.  Since I do my validation
using javascript, then send it to the server so that �formmail.pl� can chew
on it.  The example below has been modified to run on my machine for testing
purposes.  Normally, it is on the remote host.

<form onSubmit = "return submitIt (this)" action =
"http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/form_parse.pl"; name = "cattlemancustomForm">
                                                            <input
type="hidden" name="recipient" value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]">
                                                            <input
type="hidden"  name="subject" value="Cattleman form submittal">
                                                            <input
type="hidden"  name="title" value="Info">

So, if I use a server-side validation script, how do keep my email addr
hidden from clients, (refer to above example?
