[MacPerl] Need a jumpstart with FMpro and e-mail

RE: Filemaker Pro and e-mail

I'm new to Perl scripting. I've been reading "Programming Perl" 
and all the FAQs I can find. My server is WebSTAR and I've got a 
simple form working that returns html confirmation to the user. 

Now I'm ambitiously considering a script to do all this:

  1. Create or append a text file with name=value pairs received from the user
  2. Create a new record in Filemaker Pro and copy name=value pairs into fields
  3. Create and send e-mail with the name=value pairs

I've searched the web for existing scripts and found null.

I need a jump start. I'd appreciate any Perl script examples you can spare.
I'm hoping to avoid using AppleScript. It's OK to send Perl script examples 
directly to my e-mail.

Thanks.

Eric
