I found a work around for now.
Of course, i had to recode how the main menu was called. BUT, It works just the same.
I simply added two sub sections labeled "submit ad" and "thank you ad".They were placed inside the section called classifieds. then I built a page using displaysection.html, and called the external cgi script.
seems to work fine.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I added "place ad" and "thank you ad" sections as a subsections to "contact us".
i.e
frontpage > contact us > place ad
> thank you ad
Then in my templates folder i added sub folders for both, each with a displaysection.html. the display section houses the folder which is running of a hacked version(per my host) of Matt's Scripts Formmail.pl.
So far its working good. I have the same type of setup in 4 different areas(obit ad,classified ad, contact ad, letter to the editor).
The main menu was rebuilt using YUI Menu Builder, from yahoo. if your not familiar with it, its a js menu using div tags, in this case, they are placed in the header.inc right before the call for the side bar.
like i said before not pretty but effective.

Has anyone toyed with the idea of a form module. Basically a way to easily administer contact and survey(more indepth that a poll) forms.
Just curious.

I have a module for a contact system. Need to rewrite it for 0.8.
Do you have some details or an example of a survey from?
best example i have right now..
my newspaper has a survey form, that i have added a link to in the header of my props cms

correction:
example is here

I get it. Looks like something like a multiple poll. Think I can figure out something like this.
