Re: Forms and MAILTO decoders

>>I was looking into using a form that would give them feedback once they
submit it--however, I don't know if our IT group can handle the requests
that I am going to have to make (don't ask). The other option is to use a
MAILTO: form--however, I can't find any freeware/shareware decoders for
MAILTO form output (maybe I'm just not asking the right question).


If you're looking to do a simple multiple-choice type form, it really 
couldn't be more simple.  There really isn't that much Perl code needed to 
get the answers in, parse them and print a page that gives feedback. (It 
wouldn't be hard to mail it either--if you're using a Unix based server.)

If you can't find anything that will suit your needs, I can write a 
boilerplate form, script and instructions on how to edit it (I'd be doing 
it on my "leisure" time, so it may take a couple of days to get to it).  If 
anyone else is interested in something like this, I can post the 
boilerplate test form on my server.

Like I said, this is not hard.  There's a lot of good Perl script resources 
available on the Internet (head here: 
http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Programming/Languages/Perl/WWW/ 
to shop around.)
