Okay, so i see that a lot of people ask about cgi for forms, and i looked at a few threads but none of them were able to help me. I never worked with cgi or perl before. All I want to do is allow my users to fill out the form I made using HTML then send it to my e-mail@mydomain.com...
I downloaded something called novice.cgi. It looks promising, except that I dont know how to edit any of the lines of code. I put it in a cgi-bin and when i type the web address with that path it just brings up an uneditable type of readme file. What am I doing wrong? Cgi's will not open locally. Also, can i designate a cgi folder just by creating a new one, say, for my subdomain, and calling is cgi-bin?
