Thanks a bunch for everyone’s input; I didn’t have to wait long at all
to receive an answer from all of you knowledgeable people. A few questions:
What smtp server software would you recommend I use to send email to
myself (localhost)? I have win98se, apache, activestate_perl.
And, How do I use CGI.pm to parse a form’s output? Do I just do:
#!c:/perl/bin/perl –w
use CGI.pm
# Then something like
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print header;
foreach $key (sort keys(%formdata)) {
print "<P>The field named<B>$key</B>
contained <B>$formdata{$key}</B>";
}
##### Does anyone have a nicely customizable form validation script I can
use instead of “reinventing” one?
Also, it seems that there are a number of programmers on this list who feel
passionate about validating scripts server-side. Since I do my validation
using javascript, then send it to the server so that “formmail.pl” can chew
on it. The example below has been modified to run on my machine for testing
purposes. Normally, it is on the remote host.

<form onSubmit = "return submitIt (this)" action =
"http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/form_parse.pl"; name = "cattlemancustomForm">
<input
type="hidden" name="recipient" value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]">
<input
type="hidden" name="subject" value="Cattleman form submittal">
<input
type="hidden" name="title" value="Info">

So, if I use a server-side validation script, how do keep my email addr
hidden from clients, (refer to above example?
Thanks,
