The script you use will need to be uploaded to your web host and is usually kept in a folder with a name something like "CGI-BIN".
The type of script used (PERL, PHP etc.) will depend on the type of web host being used for your site.
What I did was to contact my web host and ask them. They then supplied me with a script file which they use. I then modified it to suit my needs. So I suggest you do that, they should be able to help you.
Be aware that (generally speaking) the script file in the CGI-BIN is only for the actually process of constructing and sending the email and not for validating the data entered into you HTML form. You have to provide that code yourself .
If you need any javascript for validating your forms I have a few that you can use. Just modify them to suit your needs.
Good luck...
If your server supports PHP, take a look at http://forums.webdeveloper.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9543#post48748
