    i'm trying to get a simple contact form running. when i forward the action to my script, i get all kinds of weird stuff. it thinks it's a new blog signup, goes to a page like you're not logged in, etc... can someone assist? here is my code:

    <form name="mail" method="post" action="../formmail.pl">

    formmail.pl is provided by my web host for sendmail access.

    FYI, i've moved my script all around to see if it would find it with no success. i also tried the full URL like http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/formmail.pl with CHMOD 777 on the script and cgi-bin directory.

    nevermind, i think i got it. moved it to my themes directory and it's working. might have been as simple as FormMail.pl is case sensitive, before i had formmail.pl

    Even easier would be the Secure Form Mailer from Dagon Design.

    Nice plugin, and highly customizable.
