okay, I'm assuming you're accepting information from a web-form. I certainly hope you're using CGI.pm to get all you variables and everything. but either way, emailing it is a difficult matter. it might be easier to set the form to send to your email address, and have perl deal with the data in there. but assuming you want to format validate and then email, it depends. if you have sendmail or any equivelant, you can probably use that. if you're on windows, you have a lot fewer options. you may be able to use email modules ( PPM> search mail ) if you have them and know the right settings to get to email it. if you're running from a web server you dont own, and you dont know if sendmail is available, try a using sendmail from there and see what happens. I use tripod (quality is dropping, but you still get your own CGI run for free), and I can send a few hundred emails per day. it's also listed in the help files that tripod has. if you have a different server that allows you to use your own CGI, check if they have sendmail or an equivelant, and if they do, they'll probably have some info on how to use it. oh, and also, this isn't really an administration question, you might get more people able to respond by sending to perl-win32-users or a perl web mailing list or something. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Admin mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
