CGI is not a language. It is, as the name implies, and interface. Now
that we're wildly off-topic, let's digress some more. :-)
perl is a language. Here's a script.
#!/usr/bin/perl -Tw
$mail = '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t';
$recip = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$dlpage = '/path/to/your/page.html';
use CGI;
$load = new CGI;
open(MAIL, "| $mail") or die "No $mail here\n";
print MAIL "To: $recip\n";
print MAIL "Subject: Download from $ENV{REMOTE_HOST}\n\n";
print MAIL "$load->param('name')\n";
print MAIL "$load->param('email')\n";
print MAIL "$load->param('comments')\n";
close(MAIL);
print $load->header;
open(H, $dlpage) or die "no $dlpage here.\n";
while (<H>){ print; }
close(H);
Make sure you've installed a web server, perl, and the CGI modules. I
don't guarantee the above will work, since it's off the top of my head,
but I don't see any reason for it not to work. Oh, name, email and
comments should be fields in your HTML form. Enjoy.
