Subject: your form or mine? |

| I've never made a form before, so this is very basic. Does your program include a form that I customize, & if so, do I have to use yours? I have just created a form in my web design program & am really hoping just to find a script to process it. Is that what yours does? My host does offer CGI/perl support.
Thanks! (The ReadMe file is a bit intimidating for someone who doesn't use much HTML.) :) | |

| Good Question.
1. You will need a CGI-BIN to proccess your form.
2. You will want to get a hosting account that offers CGI access, No form processing script will let you process forms with out this. You can do a Yahoo search under Web hosting and you should be able to find a good one for around $5-$10 a month.
3. Yes, Biz Mail Form, Form processing script is used to process any form, whether you created or not. However the zip file will contain example forms you can use that we created.

| Hi, thanks for your response, that helped me get started. Here is what my ISP said when I asked if I could get a CGI-bin:
Earthlink's Domain accounts allow for the use of both our own Custom CGI scripts as well as your own CGI and PERL Scripts. We have PERL version 5.004_04 built for sun4-solaris installed on our UNIX webservers. The location of PERL on the server is:
/usr/local/bin/perl
Is your program written in PERL? Do you think it will work on Earthlink?
Thanks again,
Oriana

| Yes, it is written in Perl. So yes it will work on your account. Just make sure to change the path to perl which is the first line of the bizmail.cgi script. should be changed to /usr/local/bin/perl
If you are a beginner you may want to have the scripts profesionaly installed. If so click on the custom programming link on our web site, and fill out the form. They can ushualy have it installed and customize your forms on your site to fit it within the same day.
