If you have any hair, then be prepared to lose half of it as you pull it 
out....
1.  You need BFormMail - use the current version
http://www.infosheet.com/iScripts.html
VERY, very important to use the latest version - correct use of this stops 
the spammers using your server as a mail relay, otherwise your ISP will get 
very nouty - BFormMail is a window into the sendmail program and can be used 
to send 1000's of mail messages anywhere if not tied down correctly.

2.  Adjust the perl script where shown in the comments in the script (text 
editor is all that's needed)

3.  Upload the bformmail.pl

4.  Change the permissions from the default of 644 to 755 (You have to allow 
the perl script to run!)

5.  Make a form in an html page that passes data to the perl script
<form method="post" action="BFormMail.pl">

 and upload it

6.  If you have defined a "thank you" address in the perl script then make 
that page as well

7.  Test it and ask yourself why it no work.... ;-)

If you get stuck - ask me off list and I will sort out some of my successful 
ones to mail to you to compare format.
