apache server and formmail

[markman]

www.f2s.com has an apache server and I want to have a form mail, where the user types in their name and comments and hits submit (thats the html part; i can do that) then somehow, I want an email to appear in my mailbox saying what they typed (which is what I am asking how to do).

Make sure the ACTION tag of the form points to the script you're gonna use to handle the form processing & emailing. You can easily find Perl scripts to do this on the web, or writing your own's not that hard.

Id rather learn perl to save time and whenever I try formmail.pl (the one that matt made that you can find all over the web) it doesnt work. I get a screen saying there was a server error. f2s.com is reliable so i dont think its them and everyone else's *.pl files work.
