The Mailmerge CGI Script

Mailmerge is a Perl CGI script for handling many routine fill-out form
tasks without doing any actual scripting. You can use it to create
user comment forms, surveys and bug reports.

New in version 1.1 is the ability to write formatted entries out to
files, allowing you to create guest books, voting tallies, software
registration files, and other types of online documents.

It's basically an e-mail gateway: you write the form in HTML, users
fill it out and submit it, and the contents of the form are then
e-mailed to you or to the recipient of your choice.  Alternately, you
can have the message appended to a file (either a regular text file or
an HTML file).  However, unlike other scripts of this sort, Mailmerge
gives you control over the way in which the outgoing mail is formatted
by letting you supply printmerge-style templates that specify the
appearance of both the fill-out form and the outgoing message.

Mailmerge also gives you access to a number of server variables, such
as the current date and the name of the remote user.  These allow you
to create forms that have a little intelligence.
