 Hi, I hope a really simple question with an equally simple answer...!

Trying to get FormMail to recognise that "M_recipient" means "recipient",
for the purposes of WorldPay which can only pass on fields that begin M_.
Have tried M_recipient=recipient (wishful thinking).

Apologies if I'm posting in the wrong ng, FormMail is Perl based and I live
in hope..

Thanks in advance, Adrian.

FormMail is one of the chief reasons that python was created.
It gives perl a bad name.

For starters it is missing the lines:

use taint;
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI;

"FormMail is quite possibily the most used CGI program on the
internet"
-- Matt's Script Archive

This is true because spammers have used it billions of times.

Just get the alternative version from here:
http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/scripts.shtml
It should be better.

Can't locate taint.pm in @INC...

If you think for a minute you'll see why this has to be the case... you
mean

#!/usr/bin/perl -T

Unfortunately it looks like you are in the wrong newsgroup.

Note that there are multiple FormMail scripts. If you want help with
using a particular script, natural ways are to ask the script author or
make use of some list/group/forum that serves the purpose of supporting
just that script. People here can't be expected to know everything about
every Perl application out there.

OTOH, if you convert your question to a Perl question rather than a
question about a particular app, you may well post it here. Before you
do, I recommend that you study the posting guidelines for this group:
http://www.augustmail.com/~tadmc/clpmisc/clpmisc_guidelines.html

Caveat: If it's Matt's FormMail you are trying to use, don't ask for
help here. Both Matt and his scripts have a bad reputation, and people
here are disinclined to help out with them. If that's the case, you'd
better switch to one of the scripts at
http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/scripts.shtml
