I would like to create a simple guest book that allow me to notice when a user/visitor send me a message from that guest book. My guest book form includes the followings:
<form action="" method="POST" action="message_personal.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" target="_top">
<table>
<tr>
<td>Your first name:</td>
<td><input name="firstName" type="text" size="25" maxlength="50" /></td>
<tr>
<td>Your last name:</td>
<td><input name="lastName" type="text" size="25" maxlength="50" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Your email:</td>
<td><input name="email" type="text" size="25" maxlength="50" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Sex:</td>
<td><input name="sex" type="radio" value="Male" checked />
Male
<input name="sex" type="radio" value="female" />
Female</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Subject:</td>
<td><input name="subject" type="text" size="25" maxlength="50" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">Your message: </td>
<td><textarea name="message" cols="30" rows="8"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td align="right">
<input name="Reset" type="reset" value="Reset" />
<input name="Submit" type="submit" value="Submit" /> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
Could anyone help with a CGI script to start with that allows me to be notified of incoming messages from visitors into my email which contains users' details and messages from the above form.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I have another issue how to run this perl/cgi script on my local computer.
I have just installed IIS server in my machine running windows XP prof. The IIS server appears to run well when I test a page like this:
[localhost...]
but it does not run any scripting files like ASP and .cgi or .pl at all like this:
[localhost...] - the browser displayed like this:
The page cannot be displayed
There is a problem with the page you are trying to reach and it cannot be displayed.

Please try the following:
Click the Refresh button, or try again later.
Open the localhost home page, and then look for links to the information you want.
