1st line (path to perl) should be:#!/usr/bin/perlpath to sendmail should be:$mailprog = "/usr/sbin/sendmail";(At least the above is true for my account.. I assume yours would be the same. It would only be different if our accounts resided on different servers. This info can be found in your cpanel).Make sure $recipient = your email addressmake sure the file is chmodded to 755 in the cgi bin.Sorry, I cannot open the fla file here. I don't have flash installed on my system. Would you be able to give me a mock-up html form i could i could see?One thing that you could look for is ACTION of the form contains the url of this file, and the method = POST.. like this:<form ACTION="http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; method="POST">(mailprog.cgi of course should be replaced by the name of this file).If that doesn't work try method="GET"

The html page doesn't really do me much good as all it does is insert the .swf file. It doesn't show how it sends the data to the mail prog. That is in the swf file that I cannot open.What is the error you are getting? Did you CHMOD the file to 755 after putting it in your cgi folder?If you want I could send you a working mailscript. It won't be a flash file, but I could make it operate the was this one is supposed to. I would just need to know what email address you would want the form data sent to.What's more is if you know how to set up a simple html form, you can set up others as well with no changes made to the cgi script.
