There are plenty of Perl scripts which do what you want. In fact most of the hosts have a form mailer available in their scripts collection to do this.

Alternatively try one of the script repositories provided below:

1. http://www.hotscripts.com/
2. http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/Collections/
3. http://www.freeperlcode.com/
4. http://www.scriptsearch.com/
5. http://www.cgifree.de
6. http://www.perlmasters.com/

There is one simple Perl feed back form script in the site listed in my profile too.

Thanks Sinoed. That is a good and probably the most popular form mail script link.

But a caveat is on order here:

Many scripts have an inherent weakness - Malicious hackers can use your script/server to send hundreds of emails to victims anywhere in the world. Your host/ISP might shut down your site for this reason - if you are not careful enough. Check that the form mailers have a built-in routine to weed out the vulnerability.
