Hi,

Have you spotted the file EXAMPLES packaged in with FormMail.pl? That
has examples of what you need to configure in FormMail.pl and what you
need to add to your HTML.

The slightly longer README file is also good if you want to find out
what certain inputs or configuration options are for.

My advice (I am someone who's just set up FormMail for the first time!):
In FormMail.pl:
1/ Put your email address in to FormMail.pl by changing this line in the
User Configuration section:
    %recipient_alias   = ();
make it look like this
    %recipient_alias   = ( me => 'my_...@ex...', );

In your HTML form:
1/ Make sure that the <form> tag has an action attribute that has the
full URL of FormMail.pl.

That is how you attach the form to the script.

2/ Make a hidden input tag like this:
<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="me" />

That says "use the email address for 'me' that was configured in the
script".

Hope that's helpful,

Steven
