What he needs to do is use the form to create a file containing the message
text. Then use the system() commmand in PERL to run imail1 to actually send
the mail.
It would look something like this:
system("$imail1exe -u $sentby -t $toaddress -s $subject -f $messagefile");
$imail1exe should be the full path to the executable imail1.exe etc. etc.
You can find the meaning for -u -t etc. in

There is also popular 3rd party command line mailer:

Unless you wanna do something really special or just learn PERL/CGI
on NT, Perl seems a little heavy for this.
