You need to save it as "CGI Script".  There should be a file called "CGI
Script" in ":MacPerl Ä:MacPerl Extensions:" if you are using MacPerl
5.1.4r4; if not, you should be.  :-)

Other notes:

This line will not work.  It uses Unix path separators, not Mac OS
separators.  See the Macintosh specific features help file (macperl.pod).

You really should be using CGI.pm (it comes with complete documentation,
and is in your :MacPerl:lib: directory.

This will not work either.  Even if you had a /usr/bin/Mail on your Mac,
you could not open it this way on a Mac.
