README FILE, BIZ MAIL FORM VERSION 3.1.1 PREMIUM


Welcome,

These Help pages will walk you through setting up Biz Mail Form. It is important that you read this entire Welcome page before continuing.

These readme pages are color coded. The color key is below.

Blue text = HTML code
Red text = CGI/Perl Code
Orange text = Personalization tags


If you are new to Perl and need to learn the basics to enable you to properly setup Biz Mail Form, you can find a complete beginners tuturial here.


There will be two parts to the setup of this script. The first part will be configuring your HTML form. The second part will be configuring the accompanying Perl scripts, success pages and auto-reply message files. The fields configured on the HTML form will be sent to the primary Perl script bizmail.cgi. This script in turn will process the information per what is explained in this readme.


1. HTML FORM SETUP

A listing of all predefined HTML function form fields and the functions they perform can be found here.

A function field is simply a hidden HTML form field that communicates with the Perl script to tell it what functions to perform.


2. Covered in this Readme are the two Perl (.cgi) scripts to be edited;

1. bizmail.cgi

This script covers all major features.

2. success.cgi

This script needs to be configured to use the Default Personalization Success page.

To understand the configuration of these Perl scripts, an example page has been setup to appear exactly as the bizmail.cgi script to be edited. Additionally, two features have been added to help you understand the configuration.

1. Color was added to show a contrast and define code. All comments are in grey. All Perl code (Variables) are in red. In addition, each part of the red code is clickable as explained in 2.

2. Each variable in the example script is linked to that particular explanation in the readme. This will help you walk through that part of the configuration.

The example of bizmail.cgi.
