Re: [HELP] So upset

Well basically if you are editing FormMail.pl you could just download it then open it up with notpad, then make the correct adjustments there. Geocities does not run any server-side software (PHP, Perl, ASP). You would want to find a good pay hosting service to run server-side scripts.

geocities does offer server-side scripting, but only with a special paid account.

you might like to use a free service like tripod , which will limit your daily mail sending limit to 40-50 emails.

Wow, they now offer server-side options. I havent used any of those services in a long time. I got hooked up with payed hosting long ago since they had better customer support and service. :o

Re: [HELP] So upset

Are you talking about Matt Wrights Formmail.pl ? If so I recommend http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/
not matts scripts, written by the London.pm perl mongers to be secure drop in replacements to Matt Wrights scripts.
