Hi,
it is is my first time that work with DirectAdmin, and I have several forms that send and-mai. Already I did PERL's Installation, but I do not know where to find the files to send of e-mail or if they are created when we install PERL. Could anybody help please?
Regards,
Luiz Cláudio

Do you mean the functionality and modules? Or the actual form-to-email program, such as FormMail.pl?

You can find a secure version of FormMail.pl here. If you decide to use it be sure to read both the README and the README.security file (which will be available when you unpack the archives); the latter explains the differences between this version and the original, insecure version, and explains how to use this secure version.

Configuration of the CGI

Hi,
what I need is to configure Formail.pl. Thank you very much by the hint, already lowered and I am working to try to configure the file.

It's fairly easy to configure. You don't have to change anything that says "sendmail"; even though DA runs exim, it has the proper functionality built in so programs that expect sendmail will work properly.

I use that copy of FormMail all the time myself.

It works properly.

Which was the directory that PERL installed?

Thank you very much for this hints. There is some form by the control panel, of know where it was installed PERL inside my machine!

On our Red Hat Linux and Red hat Enterprise Linux based servers it's at /usr/bin/perl.

If it's not there on your server, then to find it log in through a shell, and run:

$ whereis perl

(where you do NOT type the $ sign; it's only there to tell you that you don't have to be root to run this command)

and that will tell you where perl is located.

If it doesn't then perl isn't properly installed on your server.

If you're NOT the server admin, then ask your hosting company.
Servercheck.pl, will tell you a lot about your perl environment.
