Chip,

  Briet is right. But also do perl -d ./formpargser.cgi  that
will put you in
  debug state and should bring up a prompt. See below:


Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.0402
Emacs support available.

Enter h or `h h' for help.

main::(suggestion.cgi:6):       $mailprog =
'/usr/lib/sendmail';
  DB<1> 

The DB<1> is a prompt and by type and N means to step thru the
code watch it execute.
That may also help trouble shoot the problem further.
